Bernheim 7 Year Original Wheat Whiskey

Easy drinking. Love it

Sweet, stewed apple,maple smell, wood, spicy finish

I'm a sucker for the wheated bourbons. Fruit and honey on the nose. Sweet and spicy with a nice finish. One of my new favorites.

Store Pick” from Pitch Bar and Grill in Scottsdale AZ. 7 year Age statement. Nose is light and airy with orange peel, buttered toast, coriander, vanilla, jasmine, and a little oak. Have to dig for a lot of these scents due to the overall lightness of the aroma. Palate comes in with honey, apple butter, popcorn, orange glaze, cinnamon roll icing, and a teeny bit of acetone, which is usually a deal breaker for me but it is so obscured by the other flavors that you almost have to be looking for it, so I’ll give it a pass. While there are a lot of sweet notes, this is literally the opposite of a “rich” whiskey so it is far from cloying. Finish has some malted milk ball (like the inside of a Whopper candy) and oak but not deep oak like you would imagine from a charred oak barrel but rather dried oak chips. Get some decent length consider the (relatively) mild proof. Some menthol builds the more sips you take, but it is not unpleasant. Mouthfeel is super light, which suits the flavor profile well. Light, sweet, and elegant; not normally my cup of whiskey but I did enjoy it. As far as value goes, I’ve seen this around town for as high as $38 for a standard bottle, but Pitch was selling their private pick for a measly $25. Not worth $38 by a long shot, but definitely worth the $25 I paid and would do so again when going there for other things. (“Yeah, and throw in a bottle of Bernheim”)

Very young and not complex, overly alcoholed, light and spicy

New to wheat whiskey, but had a sweet nose, smooth and slightly sweet taste, but a little spice at the end.
