Bernheim Barrel Proof
Bernheim Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey is a powerhouse of flavour and uniqueness in the American whiskey world. Released in batches throughout the year, this barrel-proof expression takes Bernheim’s smooth wheat whiskey and gives it a bold, unfiltered edge.
Why it’s so good:
- 51% Wheat Mash Bill: Unlike bourbon (which must be at least 51% corn), Bernheim is made primarily with soft winter wheat, giving it a creamy, approachable mouthfeel and a naturally sweet profile. Think honey, vanilla, and gentle fruit.
- Barrel Proof Strength: This Bernheim Barrel proof is bottled straight from the barrel with no dilution, often landing between 55–61% ABV. That means more concentrated flavours, more character, and greater flexibility—you can sip it neat or add a few drops of water to open it up.
- Long Ageing: Aged 7 to 9 years, Bernheim Barrel Proof benefits from rich barrel influence: toasted oak, baking spice, caramelised sugar, and a warm, lingering finish.
- Unique in its Category: It’s one of the few barrel-proof wheat whiskies on the market, standing out in a sea of high-proof bourbons and ryes.
In short, the Bernheim Barrel Proof is a bold, sweet, and deeply satisfying whiskey that offers something truly different for enthusiasts chasing full flavour and craft quality.
