1792 Sweet Wheat

Delicious. Wish it sas more readily abailable.

Exit 9 Tasting (3/26/24)

Nice flavor on this one, a little bit of lite heat with this one. Goes down nice on the backend

Bottle sort of fell into my lap for $50, so couldn't pass up the opportunity, even if this wasn't on my short list of things to seek out. Nose is pretty faint and requires a bit of agitation to pull much out. Yep, its sweet, and yep, its wheated. Hints of lighter fruits, some in-the-shell-peanut-like notes, and little else I can pull out...very soft. One sip, and I already can tell this might be the most sweet-forward whiskey I've tried in years. There really isn't a ton going on here...it is simple, but it is tasty to be fair, even if it isn't something that challenges the palate. A splash of tropical fruit, faint vanilla, and while I'm sure this was aged in wood, nothing to pick up on that front. A bit of heat up front softens quickly, and then it ends pretty abruptly as well. I'm perfectly fine with this bottle at MSRP, as I've been a bit bigger fan of the 1792 series than the average joe/jill, but anything above $50 would have left me disappointed, and I can also say I'm pretty happy I never shelled out the $15+ for a small pour at a bar. Will keep this one on the shelf for those who come over and want to try something new...
