Bernheim 7 Year Original Wheat Whiskey

3.7ish. Pretty good. It’s no Weller but what is really?

Very mild nose. Vanilla-pear torte if you can catch much of anything. Maybe a touch of underripe banana. Not much taste at first, then develops a surprising oaky iodine with a little burn neat. Very sweet, the burn would be gone with just a little water, leaving only vanilla sweetness. Rich and toasted cereal grain. A thin buttered toffee. Gentle heat on the finish. Slightly bitter, but not off-putting. I do get a bit of the characteristic Heaven Hill peanut essence there at the back end. Nice. Not sure if I prefer it to Makers or Wellers, but not sure I don't either. Easily worth a try for < $30.
