Description
Crafted by Heaven Hill, the Bernheim Wheat Whiskey 20th Anniversary Edition celebrates 20 years of one of America’s most unique whiskey styles. This limited small-batch release was distilled at the historic Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, aged 10 years in Bardstown, Kentucky, and bottled at a bold 115 proof.
Made from a wheat-forward mashbill of 51% wheat, 37% corn, and 12% malted barley, it delivers rich notes of vanilla, baking spice, molasses, butterscotch, and refined oak with a long warming finish. Only available in limited nationwide quantities, this commemorative release honors the whiskey that helped pioneer modern American wheat whiskey.
