Bernheim Original Straight Wheat Whiskey 7 year old 45%
Tasting Note
51% Winter Wheat, 39% corn, 10% Malted Barley
Re- Tasted: Aug 2017
The nose is surprisingly clean with crushed, dark wheat flakes and hints of corn and spice. Pleasantly lacking the often found burnt caramel note. With time hints of charred wood, citrus and almost sherry-like spices.
The palate is soft and wheaty with a touch of cinnamon spice and soft vanilla. Hints of earth and edgier spices come through on the middle. Long and wheaty with lingering earthy, dark spice, tannin and a late subtle treacle note. The best balanced bottling of Bernheim I’ve tasted.
