1792 Sweet Wheat Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)
This is Barton 1792 distillery’s first-ever wheated Bourbon, where the wheat replaces rye as the ‘spice’ ingredient (similar to Weller and Maker’s Mark). It's the first time it's been available in Australia. We have a tiny allocation. 45.6% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Easy to drink, reasonably priced for its quality, and has a creamy mouthfeel that will ultimately become its most memorable trait. 1792 Sweet Wheat is a gentle, easy-to-drink wheated bourbon. Its palate is pleasing with its traditional bourbon flavors and semi-sweet notes. It also has a good amount of oak on its palate. This actually might be a determent for some expecting a sweet-forward profile based on the bourbon's name, with the oak notes probably countering what might have been a far sweeter bourbon. Some tannic notes also find their way into the mix, and while they don’t taint the experience much, I would have liked less of them. 1792 Sweet Wheat doesn’t far exceed the quality found in other similar priced wheated bourbon, but it does what it does well, and is priced reasonably for what it is. - breakingbourbon.com
...A sweet and fruity whiskey, with vanilla wafer, cotton candy, caramel custard, blackberry, and ripe peach. Soft oak spice and polished leather on the finish keep the sweetness in check. Very gentle in personality; a great starter bourbon. 88 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: John Hansell 2015
