Bernheim 7 Year Original Wheat Whiskey

Great, strong taste. Kinda watery, didn’t have the heavy feel. Relatively smooth

Soft and smooth. Honey and Oak.

This was the first wheat whiskey that I ever tried. I saw it for a pretty good price at $30, so I figured why not. I was pleasantly surprised. The nose is pretty light, with a touch of cinnamon and honey. The palate is sweeter than expected, with a touch of oak, nutmeg and vanilla. It's not that far off from what I would expect from a bourbon, but the finish is a bit longer than expected with some wheat toast and more sweetness. There is very little burn. For $30, I would say this is a pretty good value and a solid everyday dram. It's not very complex, but it's very smooth. I haven't tried too many other wheat whiskies, but this one was pretty good, so while it probably should be more of a 3/3.25, I'm going to bump it up to a 3.5 since it's a very good value.

Pleasantly sweet but not fruity. Full bodied but not overpowering. If you enjoy wheated whiskies, this is a lovely choice.

So smooth!

This isn't a very complex whisky, but it's the best simple whisky I've ever had. It constantly amazes me that it's so good while still as simple as it is. A fifth cost me $34.99 at "my" Total Wine. It's a 90 proof whisky, and is copper/gold in the glass. The mash bill is 51% wheat, 37% corn, and 12% malted barley. This whisky ages for seven years. NOSE: Caramel, butterscotch, butter. TASTE: Honey butter, puffed wheat, lemon, bread crust. FINISH: Short - honey and a little oak. I don't know that I'll try to always have a bottle of this whisky on hand, but I'll definitely buy it again.

Cinnamon cake nose. Flavors on the pallet are a little soft, but I get some candy and some darker fruit beneath that. Finish is nice, with a little wood, but not too long. For better or worse, it's just extremely pleasant.

Good flavor, very little burn. Pretty smooth.
