Bernheim 7 Year Original Wheat Whiskey

This bottle was an impulse purchase for me a few years back, and while I still have over half remaining, I'm glad I bought it. Clear and bright orange mahogany. Nose evokes honey-drizzled buttered yeast rolls, apple pie, and a little bananas Foster. Eminently drinkable, and intellectually interesting as the first wheat whiskey marketed in the U.S., but not much complexity. No hard edges. 3.75 stars on the Distiller scale. Smooth drinking--possibly the smoothest-drinking 90-proof whiskey you've ever sipped--and enjoyable, if somewhat single-toned. But as something that can be found for around $30, it's an interesting alternative to generic bourbon. While all of this sounds like a raft of underhanded complements, I'd keep a bottle onhand at this price. N.B. All spirits tasted neat in a Glencairn glass.

Sweet at nose, similar to the GlenAnachie 12 years(supposed to be bit of a chocolate) Not a bourbon whiskey

Without ice: Aroma is what mash. Similar to Elijah Craig Small Batch, but with the oak. Taste is sweet and very slight oak undertone. With ice: Aroma is the what is more prevelant. Sweetness of mash is prevelant. Elijah Craig would the new barrel.
