Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey
Description
Bernheim Original is a wheat whiskey from Heaven Hill — the first new style of American whiskey introduced since Prohibition, aged seven years in traditional open rickhouses for a mellow, refreshingly smooth character best served straight.
Where bourbon uses corn as its primary grain and rye whiskey uses rye, Bernheim Original is built on winter wheat as the dominant grain — making it the first genuinely new American whiskey style to emerge after Prohibition. Seven years in Heaven Hill's traditional open rickhouses round it into a soft, mellow whiskey that is refreshingly smooth poured neat.
