Barton 1792 Bourbon Sweet Wheat 75cl

This is the first time Barton has released a wheated 1792 Bourbon. A bourbon’s secondary grain is usually rye, but a small 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 in traditional bourbon mashbills.

Composed of an otherwise undisclosed mash bill containing at least a percentage of wheat, this unique NAS dram is aged for a minimum of 4+ years and bottled at 91.2-proof. Winner of Best of Category and awarded gold at the 2018 Los Angeles International Spirits Competition and the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition - 1792 Sweet Wheat has more than earned the respect it has garnered. A considered, masterfully crafted, and singularly delicious bourbon, expect a varied nose and palate of candied nuts, vanilla, oak, and rich caramel throughout this coveted yearly release whiskey.

This is the first in the series of new expressions of 1792. A port finished bourbon is also due in October 2015. It is rumoured that a single barrel, barrel strength, and rye are also planned.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE

A very nice blend of young and old wood notes, with lighter punches of black cherry, vanilla, orange, and a slight hint of spice. It’s not an overpowering blend for a 91 proof bourbon, but it certainly has a good amount of life to it. Not overly complex, but its surface level aromas are hard to dislike.

palate

A well balanced blend of sweet and dry notes that airs on the simple side. The usual bourbon flavors are present with vanilla and caramel being most prevalent. Fainter hints of dried fruit, pine, and walnuts are also noticeable, but have a hard time fully emerging. The bourbon’s soft and creamy mouthfeel is easily its most interesting trait, which helps make this one of the easiest drinkers that I’ve had in some time. While enjoyable, the palate is not immediately memorable.

finish

The creamy mouthfeel thins on the finish and leaves a mildly dry aftertaste. The sweet caramel notes fade giving way to a leathery, oaky, relatively short finish. It’s an average finish at best that lacks much character.

45.6% ABV
