Bernheim Original Barrel Proof Wheat Whiskey

Current Offering: A225 – 125.4 Proof

This extension to the Bernheim brand means you can now enjoy a premium Wheat Whiskey at full barrel proof. Like the original, Bernheim Barrel Proof is produced at the Bernheim Distillery and is the first wheat whiskey to use winter wheat as its primary grain, giving it a soft, sweet flavor that’s extra smooth. Released twice a year, each offering is aged for seven to nine years in open-air rickhouses. This is a chance to experience a unique wheat mashbill in its pure form: non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel proof.

Each batch will vary in proof, and consist of barrels aged for seven to nine years. A specific batch number will be shown on each bottle. The first letter of the batch number indicates which of that year’s releases the bottle was a part of starting with “A,” while the second digit is a number that determines the month of the year the bottle was released. The third and fourth digits indicate the year.
