The Sweet Wheat expression is part of 1792’s experimental series exploring different mashbill variations beyond the standard high-rye recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheated bourbons — like Maker’s Mark, Weller, and Pappy Van Winkle — are defined by the absence of rye’s peppery spice. Sweet Wheat produces vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit character with a distinctly smoother, softer finish than the standard 1792 expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barton 1792 Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Wheated Mashbill\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.6% (91.2 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does a wheated bourbon differ from standard bourbon?\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard bourbons use rye as the secondary grain, adding pepper and spice. Wheated bourbons replace rye with wheat, producing a softer, sweeter, more approachable profile with less grain spice. The same corn base produces more vanilla and caramel character when wheat rather than rye is used.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does 1792 Sweet Wheat compare to other wheated bourbons like Maker’s Mark?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are wheated Kentucky bourbons, but from different distilleries and different mashbill ratios. Sweet Wheat carries Barton’s house character — more corn-forward and robust than Maker’s Mark’s traditionally gentle Loretto profile.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does wheated bourbon differ from standard bourbon?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Standard bourbons use rye as secondary grain, adding pepper and spice.
