Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey Barrel Proof A225

Bernheim Original Barrel Proof Wheat Whiskey – Batch #A225

Product Description: Bernheim Original Barrel Proof Batch #A225 is the latest installment in Heaven Hill’s celebrated wheated whiskey line. Crafted from a unique mashbill of 51% wheat, 37% corn, and 12% malted barley, this Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey offers a bold, full-bodied drinking experience. Bottled uncut and unfiltered at 125.4 proof, Batch A225 reflects the grain-to-glass commitment of the historic Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Bernheim Distillery, operated by Heaven Hill since 1999, is named in honor of Isaac Wolfe Bernheim, a German immigrant who became a successful whiskey pioneer in the late 1800s. Located in the heart of Louisville, Bernheim is one of the largest independent, family-owned distilleries in the U.S. and serves as the primary distilling site for Heaven Hill’s award-winning brands. It was also the first distillery to produce a straight wheat whiskey with a federally recognized designation.

Aged between 7 and 9 years, this expression delivers a complex flavor profile born from its high wheat content and extended barrel aging. It showcases the softer, sweeter nuances of wheat balanced by depth from the charred new oak barrels. 

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Deep copper

• Nose: Toasted almond, vanilla bean, dried fruit, and soft baking spice

• Palate: Caramel, toffee, cinnamon, baked apple, and nutmeg with a hint of charred oak

• Finish: Long, warm, and smooth with lingering notes of toffee and spice

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy neat, or with a splash of water to open up the layered sweetness and spice. Pairs well with bold food or a quality cigar.
