Bernheim Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey B923
120.6 proof 7 to 9 years Wheat Whiskey Heaven Hill Bardstown, KY $64.99 51% wheat, 37% corn, 12% malted barley
Nose

Soft, subtle, and unassuming with light fruitiness (juicy fruit gum), light florals, and no ethanol burn despite high proof

Palate

Jekyll and Hyde transformation with dominant cinnamon (big red gum/red hots), oak, and spice; sizzles front of tongue with good mid-palate bite

Finish

Long finish with lingering cinnamon spice and oak

Noteworthy
A surprising and divisive barrel-proof wheat whiskey that transforms dramatically from a delicate nose to a cinnamon-forward palate, delivering an interesting and complex sipping experience.
