1792 Sweet Wheat

1792 Sweet Wheat is a softer, smoother twist on the classic 1792 lineup, made with wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain in the mash bill. That swap gives it a gentler, sweeter profile compared to the spicier traditional 1792 Bourbon. It’s bottled at 91.2 proof, making it approachable while still carrying good flavor depth. Because Barton doesn’t release it often, Sweet Wheat has become a sought-after bottle for collectors and bourbon fans who appreciate wheated styles.

In terms of taste, 1792 Sweet Wheat is known for notes of honey, vanilla, caramel, light oak, and soft fruit—think baked apples or peaches—balanced with a creamy, mellow mouthfeel. The finish is smooth and slightly sweet with hints of toffee and gentle oak. It’s an easy-drinking, dessert-leaning bourbon that appeals to people who like Maker’s Mark–style wheated bourbons or want something sweeter and more rounded than the bold, spicy standard 1792 expressions.
