1792 Sweet Wheat Bourbon is a unique release from Barton 1792 Distillery, showcasing a softer and more delicate side of Kentucky bourbon. Unlike traditional recipes that rely on rye for spice, this expression replaces rye with wheat as the secondary grain, creating a smooth and mellow profile. Bottled at 45.6% ABV (91.2 proof), it offers an approachable balance of richness and elegance that appeals to both enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Crafted in Bardstown, Kentucky, the birthplace of bourbon, Sweet Wheat is distilled and aged with the same care that defines the 1792 lineup. The use of wheat allows the natural sweetness of the corn to shine, delivering a rounded, gentle character that stands apart from spicier counterparts. This bourbon highlights Barton’s versatility in producing whiskeys that respect tradition while offering something distinct to modern drinkers.
1792 Sweet Wheat is celebrated for its smooth drinkability, making it perfect for sipping neat or enjoying with just a touch of water. It remains one of the more sought-after expressions in the 1792 family, admired for its rarity and its softer, sweeter approach to Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
1792 Sweet Wheat Bourbon is crafted with wheat in the mashbill instead of the more traditional rye, giving it a softer and sweeter profile. It opens with aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey intertwined with light orchard fruits. On the palate, it is smooth and rounded, with flavors of butterscotch, toasted oak, and hints of ripe peach and apricot. The wheat influence lends a gentle sweetness and a velvety texture, leading into a mellow, lingering finish with subtle spice and warmth.
The elegance of Sweet Wheat makes it versatile and approachable with food. As a Starter, it pairs nicely with roasted nuts, honey-glazed ham bites, or mild pâtés. For the Main Course, it shines alongside roasted chicken, glazed pork loin, or seared duck breast, where its smooth sweetness enhances savory depth. In the Cheese course, it complements creamy brie, havarti, or mild gouda, letting the bourbon’s soft notes shine. For Dessert, it is a natural partner for peach cobbler, bread pudding, or crème brûlée, echoing its caramelized and fruity character.
