1792 Sweet Wheat is a highly sought-after, limited-allocation Kentucky straight bourbon produced by Barton 1792 Distillery. It breaks away from the brand's signature high-rye style by replacing the traditional rye secondary grain with sweet, delicate wheat, resulting in a notably softer and gentler profile.

📝 Aggregated Tasting Notes
Reviewers and enthusiast consensus describe this expression as an incredibly approachable, balanced, and round-bodied pour:
- Nose: Dominant notes of cherry-heavy dark fruit, caramel corn, and vanilla, rounded out by hints of cocoa, toasted grains, and light leather
- Palate: Highly smooth and soft. Upfront sweetness yields flavors of butterscotch, vanilla, and caramel corn, which beautifully mingle with dried dark fruits, toasted grains, and a touch of white oak tannins.
