About Bernheim Original Wheat Barrel Proof
Bernheim Original Wheat Barrel Proof is a Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey produced by Heaven Hill's Bernheim Distillery, featuring a unique mashbill of 51% winter wheat, 37% corn, and 12% malted barley. Bottled at barrel proof (approximately 118-125 proof depending on batch), this non-chill filtered expression delivers the pure, unadulterated character of Heaven Hill's wheat whiskey program. At $53.25 for 750ml, it offers exceptional value for a barrel-proof wheat whiskey. This spirit is ideal for enthusiasts seeking complexity and authenticity, as well as those exploring alternatives to traditional bourbon. Compared to standard Bernheim Original (90 proof), the barrel-proof version provides significantly more intensity, spice, and oak influence while maintaining the soft, sweet wheat-forward profile that defines the brand.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose presents warm grain with oak staves, fresh bread, and vanilla notes. Caramel, cinnamon, and cocoa layer in, creating a complex and inviting aroma that becomes increasingly layered with time in the glass.
👅 Palate
The palate is rich and oily with buttery caramel, honey, and butterscotch sweetness balanced by energetic spice notes including cinnamon, allspice, and clove. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and warming, with peppery heat that remains approachable even at barrel proof.
✨ Finish
The finish is long and complex, with lingering notes of caramel candies, toffee, honey, and gentle oak tannins. Adding water mellows the heat while revealing additional layers of candy apple and clove.
