Bernheim Wheated Bourbon

Bernheim Wheated Bourbon stands as a unique gem in the world of American whiskey. Distilled and bottled at the renowned Heaven Hill Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, this spirit is a tribute to innovation and tradition. First introduced in 2005, Bernheim holds the distinction of being the first wheat whiskey crafted post-Prohibition, setting it apart in a market saturated with traditional bourbons. What makes Bernheim exceptional is its mashbill, which contains a minimum of 51% wheat, diverging from the typical corn-heavy bourbon recipe. This distinction offers a softer, more accessible drinking experience while still embodying the craftsmanship bourbon enthusiasts crave. Aged for a remarkable 7 years in new charred oak barrels, Bernheim benefits from the sweet spot of aging, ensuring balance and quality. Furthermore, Kentucky’s famous limestone-rich water, used in the distillation process, adds a unique touch that enhances its profile. Bernheim's rarity in the category of wheat whiskeys makes it a noteworthy choice for anyone seeking a change from conventional bourbon. Despite its premium qualities, its affordability and availability underscore Heaven Hill’s commitment to delivering value.
