This Heaven Hill Distillery original is named for the famed Bernheim Distillery here in Louisville. 7-Year-Old Wheat Whiskey, Bernheim Original is the first new style of American Whiskey to be introduced since Prohibition. Aged for 7 years in our traditional open rickhouses, Bernheim’s mellow taste is refreshingly smooth when served straight or in cocktails.

I think at this point, it’s time to admit that I prefer my whiskeys on ice.
I like this a lot. Definitely top 10, probably top 5. The Knob is still my favorite. The two Michters and the Bowman are high on my list.
The Nikka was fascinating and I look forward to trying it again someday.
I’m also surprised I couldn’t guess which one was the Four Roses with certainty. I think it’s this one, but I’m only about 60% confident in that guess.
Nice amount of burn. Clean finish. Very enjoyable. Maybe some cinnamon as well.
