Bernheim 7 Year Original Wheat Whiskey

The nose is sweet with cherries and root beer. The palate adds a sharp spicy grain to a hint of cherry, as if too much nutmeg was added to a homemade pumpkin spice. While the overall profile is sweet, this slight bitterness persists throughout to sort of temper it. Overall, this is a very nice (fairly cheap) whiskey to keep around, if only as an educational comparison to the populous bourba which share its shelf. It also mixes a little *too* well with maraschino liqueur and dark chocolate. Someday I'll try the few other wheat whiskies that are available, but this is what they will inevitably be compared to, and I doubt that the quality/cost ratio will be anywhere close (*cough* Woodford Reserve...)

Cheap wheated, not enough flavor to offset burn.

Very nice wheat - vanilla, honey, and a touch of lemon! Had at Amature in Tampa for Lydia’s graduation!
