For all the fanfare that Buffalo Trace’s wheated recipes receive (Weller, Pappy) there isn’t a lot of hype around the other major Sazerac distillery’s 1792 Sweet Wheat, a recipe they’ve been releasing since 2015. But I think it’s time people sit up and take notice. This whiskey is a knock out wheater with a healthy dose of herbs, oak, mint, and caramel on the nose. On the palate, it’s sweet, but not as sweet as the name suggests with a balance of leather, caramel chew, and vanilla. If you like Maker’s, Larceny, Weller, and Pappy, don’t skip the 1792 Sweet Wheat!
