1792 Sweet Wheated Bourbon

When it was introduced in 2015, Sweet Wheat was the first time Barton has released a wheated 1792 Bourbon. Typically, a bourbon’s secondary grain is rye, but a smaller percentage of bourbon producers use wheat instead. The standard 1792 expression is considered “high rye” since it is thought to use more rye as its secondary grain than traditional bourbon mashbills.
Nose: A nicely balanced aroma is centered around sweet candied nuts and spicy oak, which rest atop a base of seasoned oak. A layer of caramel sweetness adds depth and is enhanced by light floral and earthy notes.
Palate:The light to slightly medium bodied palate is immediately apparent. It’s thinner than expected and works hard to present its flavors with adequate intensity.Warm caramel, vanilla sugar cookie, and custard pudding make its sugary base a delight for those with a sweet tooth.
Finish: Notes of fried dough and crinkle cookie soon swoop in, providing a slight variation to the palate’s particular brand of sweetness. A layer of light leather rounds things out, concluding with a slightly dry, but enjoyable finish.
