"Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey is the first truly new variety of American straight whiskey introduced since Prohibition. Bernheim is also the first whiskey to use winter wheat as its primary grain creating a soft, sweet flavor and medium finish. We're proud to be America's only wheat whiskey and a true original. Produced at our namesake Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, Bernheim is aged in Rickhouse Y at Heaven Hill's Nelson County facilities. Bernheim is defined as a "small batch" as the Master Distillers select from 75 barrels or less to create a one of a kind taste profile. We have won numerous medals and distinctions for our award-winning taste since we began in January of 2000. As a straight whiskey, we meet all the same criteria as Bourbon or rye -- Bernheim is aged a minimum of two years in a new, charred oak barrel, distilled at less than 160 proof, and contains no coloring, flavoring or blending agents."
