Bernheim 7 Year Original Wheat Whiskey

Nose is sweet and soft like most wheated. But I also get some eucalyptus and spice of rye. Palate is sweet and soft. I would guess a low ABV (tasting in a restaurant and didn't look). Cereal and cocoa with medicinal notes. Not complex but good. The finish is tea and dry but pleasant and moderate length.

Good. Simple bourbon. Strong front flavor. Good overall. Smooth.

Apparently it's been at least six years since I last had this and it was a bottle that didn't have the 7 year age statement yet. Picked up a bottle to refresh my memory and was pleasantly surprised. It hits all the right notes: sweet vanilla, caramel, maple syrup, a bit of baking spices on the finish. It's fine neat or in an old fashioned. It also has the unique distinction of having an age statement added, despite being around for awhile. More importantly these days: it's ~$25 and not highly sought after so you can find it sitting merrily on the shelf. Not much I can complain about here; it's a good contender for your daily along with other solid whiskies in the same price range: WT101, BT, and OF100.

The originator of wheat whiskeys. Seven year aging means amazingly smooth. Sweet and floral. Woodford being only two years aged has this nice nut/cereal up front turning to sweet. This is smooth and sweet then getting a bit sweeter.
