Scoring methodology1792 Sweet Wheat Bourbon is aged in new, charred oak barrels sourced from Missouri white oak trees, contributing to its distinctive honeyed and floral flavor profile developed through a lengthy maturation process.

Why this score
Reputable small-batch production and date-based sweetness suggest solid craft quality, but limited reviews and a potentially heavy profile cap consensus.
