“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.”bernheim wheat whiskey overview
Thank you to Ryan B. for the sample.
As an FYI, I bought and use these Glencairn glasses for my reviews and comparisons (because they’re the best): Glencairn Crystal Whiskey Glass, Set of 6, Clear, 6 Pack. Full transparency, this is an affiliate link, so I may earn a commission if you buy this or something else from Amazon.
bernheim wheat whiskey smell
After swirling, Bernheim is caramel and honey-forward with a little more heat, and now lemon, coconut meat, oak, tobacco, cinnamon, dried out chocolate bar, honey baked bread, and just a hint of nuttiness. It really does smell like Weller Antique 107. The oak also has a great mature fragrance to it, like Remus Volstead 14 and Woodford Very Fine Rare Bourbon, that makes it smell much older than 7 years old and ties it all together into a nicely fragrant whiskey

Whiskey is also for sharing, so I use Vivaplex, 12, Amber, 2 oz Glass Bottles, with Lids for smaller samples and Vivaplex, 12, Amber, 4 oz Glass Bottles, with Lids for larger ones.

If you’re on the move, this Glencairn-like stainless steel snifter glass should survive your travels and avoid shattered glass. Full transparency, this is an Amazon affiliate link, so I may earn a commission if you buy this or something else from Amazon.
