Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey 90 Proof (750ml)

Wheat whiskey from Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky, Bernheim Original approaches the bourbon category from a different grain angle. Where bourbon must be at least 51% corn, this whiskey builds its mash bill around wheat, creating a lighter, softer grain profile than its corn-heavy cousins. The result is bottled at 90 proof, giving it enough body to stand on its own without the sharp edges of higher-proof spirits.

On the palate, wheat whiskey tends toward gentleness and subtle sweetness, and Bernheim Original follows that character with a smooth, approachable finish. There's vanilla and caramel from the new charred oak aging, balanced by the grain's inherent softness. This works equally well neat in a glass or as the foundation of a whiskey cocktail where you want the spirit's voice without aggressive heat.
