1792 Sweet Wheat Bourbon Whiskey
$90.00
1792 Sweet Wheat is a limited-edition, wheated expression from the 1792 / Barton distillery line, introducing a softer, sweeter dimension to the typically spicier 1792 style. While it leans sweet and creamy, it also treads a fine line with oak and dryness—delivering a harmonized “sweetness and dryness” experience. For fans of wheated bourbons or bourbon novices who prefer gentler spice, it’s an intriguing and approachable pour.
