Description
1792 Sweet Wheat Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Crafted with sweet and delicate wheat instead of the more traditional rye, this bourbon is quite distinctive from most. The soft wheat delivers a subtle and smooth taste with gentle layers of flavor. Each sip expresses a harmony of sweetness and dryness.
TASTING NOTES
A well-balanced bourbon with delicate body. Notes of vanilla and caramel are complemented by a touch of white oak tannins. This is further mingled with dried fruit to deliver a richly smooth flavor.
Critic tasting note: “Barton 1792 distillery’s first-ever wheated bourbon, where the wheat replaces rye as the ‘spice’ ingredient (similar to Weller and Maker’s Mark). 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.” – 88/100, Whisky Advocate
Kentucky is a state in the central-eastern United States with a long history of alcohol production. It is one of the top 10 wine-producing states in the country, responsible for some 2 million gallons (7.6 million liters) a year, but it is far better known for the production of Bourbon. In fact, around 95 percent of the world’s Bourbon is made in Kentucky. Currently the most searched-for product on our database from Kentucky is Blanton’s The Original Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
The state covers 40,500 square miles (105,000 sq km) between the western slopes of the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River, and is bordered by Tennessee to the south and Indiana and Ohio to the north. The continental climate here (technically “humid sub-tropical” on the Koppen scale) makes for very hot summers and cold winters with frequent snowfalls. The Ohio River, which forms Kentucky’s northern boundary, is effectively the dividing line between the sub-tropical and continental climates of the eastern states.
