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, Bernheims mellow taste is refreshingly smooth when served straight or in cocktails.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Bright amber.

Aroma: Mildly sweet; hints of vanilla and honey.

Taste: Hints of toffee, berries and spice.

Finish: Toasted oak; elegant and warm.

“I’d take this over Old Weller Antique or Weller 12yr on just about any day, and I love that it can also be found with relative ease” – Whiskyraiders.com (90 Points)

“…All of this makes for a whiskey that will please bourbon drinkers, especially those who are looking for a soft, easy sip. … Now over 15 years since its initial debut and gaining versus losing an age statement, Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey stands the test of time in both quality and value.” Nick Beiter, Breaking Bourbon

“Wheated bourbon fans will enjoy this wheat whiskey with its distinctly bourbon nose of sweet cornbread and new oak, topped off with mint and pine aromas. It starts soft on the palate, but flavors build nicely as it rolls along, delivering graham cracker, citrus fruit, pecans, and cake batter. It remains really fresh and lovely, as caramel corn and drying cocoa powder emerge on the finish. A well-crafted and easy-drinking alternative to bourbon.” – Jeffery Lindenmuth, Whisky Advocate (90 Points)
