Bernheim Barrel Proof Batch #C925 Wheat Whiskey

Bernheim's Barrel Proof Bonanza!

Meet Bernheim Barrel Proof Batch #C925, the uncut, non-chill filtered marvel of wheat whiskey. This batch, with its quirky labeling error, is a collector's dream. Crafted from 51% Winter Wheat, 37% Corn, and 12% Malted Barley, it's aged 7-9 years and bottled at a fiery 118.4 proof. Expect a symphony of sweet pears, raspberry jam, and tart citrus on the nose, with a palate of dark berries, black pepper, and toasty tannins. The finish? Long, warming, and unforgettable.

Bernheim Whiskey is a straight wheat Whiskey — meaning that where Bourbon is made from at least 51% Corn, Bernheim is made from 51% Wheat, with Corn, Rye, and a dash of Barley rounding out the mash bill.

Like most wheat Whiskeys, Bernheim is “softer,” which means a bit more neutral on the palate with less spice. It is said to be more savory and slick too. Bernheim is aged a full seven years in charred new oak, it has vanilla and toffee notes.

But it is a bit less sweet than most American Whiskeys and — since the corn volume is low — it has less Cracker-Jacks aroma and flavor that Bourbon often has. It is an award-winning quality product of Heaven Hill Distillery.
