BERNHEIM DISTILLERY 10YR WHEAT WHISKEY BARREL PROOF 20TH ANNIVERSARY LIMTED EDITION

Bernheim Original launched in 2005 as the first new American whiskey style since Prohibition, with soft winter wheat replacing the traditional rye grain in the mash bill. Heaven Hill — the Shapira family's Bardstown, Kentucky distillery founded in 1935 — marks the 20th anniversary with a limited selection of 10-year barrels bottled at barrel proof (57.5% ABV). Matured in new charred oak, the warehouse environment drives the richness here. Cinnamon, vanilla, and baking spices open, molasses and butterscotch fill the mid-palate, and lingering black pepper closes it out.
