1792 Sweet Wheat

1792 Sweet Wheat 

For those who love rich caramel sweetness and a smooth, mellow finish, 1792 Sweet Wheat is a must-try. Unlike the bold, spicy profile of the original 1792 Small Batch, this bourbon swaps out the high-rye content for wheat, making it softer, creamier, and incredibly easy to sip. It’s a beautifully balanced whiskey that highlights sweet vanilla, toasted oak, and warm baking spices without overwhelming heat.

What Makes It Special?

Instead of using rye as the secondary grain, 1792 Sweet Wheat replaces it with wheat, creating a smoother, sweeter profile with less spice and more caramel and honey notes. Aged for several years in charred oak barrels, it develops a deep richness while maintaining a velvety, approachable character. If you enjoy wheated bourbons like Weller or Maker’s Mark, this bottle will definitely impress you.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Honey, caramel, vanilla bean, and soft oak with a touch of cinnamon.
• Palate: Smooth and creamy, with flavors of butterscotch, baked apples, toasted almonds, and light spice.
• Finish: Warm and lingering, with notes of brown sugar, oak, and a touch of cocoa.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

• Neat or with a splash of water – Enhances its creamy texture and sweet flavors.
• On the rocks – Slightly chills and softens the warmth while keeping the sweetness.
• In a Gold Rush or Whiskey Sour – The rich, sweet profile makes for a fantastic cocktail base.

Final Verdict

1792 Sweet Wheat is a perfect bourbon for those who love smooth, easy-drinking whiskey with a rich, dessert-like quality. It’s well-balanced, slightly creamy, and packed with warm caramel and vanilla notes. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon drinker or just starting to explore wheated whiskey, this bottle is a standout choice that belongs in your collection.
