Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey Review
Produced by Heaven Hill, this wheated whiskey is bottled at 7 years old and 90 proof. Its wheat-heavy mash bill delivers an approachably sweet profile, while a whiff of toasted oak adds an extra layer of flavor to the finish. Given its 7-year-old age statement, and the growing popularity of wheated releases in general, this bottle offers great bang for buck.
