Produced by the Barton 1792 Distillery, this bourbon delivers an elegant flavor profile with subtle sweetness and rich complexity.
Wheat lends a gentle, rounded mouthfeel, enhancing the natural sweetness of the corn and bringing forward flavors of caramel, vanilla, and dried fruit. Bottled at 91.2 proof (45.6% ABV), Sweet Wheat strikes a perfect balance—robust yet incredibly approachable.
This is a small batch release, crafted for those who appreciate thoughtful innovation in bourbon-making while staying true to tradition.
