Bernheim Wheat Whiskey was the first straight wheat whiskey to be launched on the US market and is bottled at seven years of age.

Bernheim Wheat Whiskey introduced into the market in 2005, this is the first wheat whiskey released in the US. The mash bill is predominantly winter wheat with corn and malted barley taking supporting roles. Recently (Spring 2014) this whiskey has gone from having no age statement to having one of 7 years, quite the reverse of what large whiskey brands are releasing.

This Heaven Hill Distillery original is named for the famed Bernheim Distillery here in Louisville. 7-Year-Old Wheat Whiskey, Bernheim Original is the first new style of American Whiskey to be introduced since Prohibition. Aged for 7 years in our traditional open rickhouses, Bernheim’s mellow taste is refreshingly smooth when served straight or in cocktails.

Proof:

90 Proof

Age:

7 Years Old

Nose:

A piercing mix of sour cherry, fragrant blooming fruit trees, and orange peel. Under that, a layer of toasted almonds and a heavy wheaty graininess like cake dough (or poundcake). There is a tinge of acetone, but it is thoroughly overpowered by the robust fruit and grain aromas.

Palate:

Thick body, with more cherry (syrup) and orange (bitters). There is an unctuous honey-like sweetness, somewhere in between processed honey and molasses. Brown sugar and smoky charred oak round out the flavor.

Finish:

Medium-long. Sweet and nutty, fading slowly with candied nuts and then fresh walnuts. A hint of bitterness, but not too much.
