Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey
Bernheim Original holds the unique distinction of being the world's first Old-Fashioned Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey. Crafted with a mash bill that is at least 51% wheat (along with corn and malted barley), and then aged in new, charred oak barrels for a minimum of seven years, it offers a distinctly softer and sweeter profile compared to traditional bourbons or ryes. This innovative whiskey provides a smooth, mellow, and approachable experience, showcasing the gentle and nuanced characteristics that only a wheat whiskey can deliver.
