At its launch, Bernheim Original Straight Wheat Whiskey was the first truly new variety of American straight wheat whiskey introduced since Prohibition. Heaven Hill Master saw an opportunity to give today's whiskey connoisseurs a unique taste experience. Bernheim was the only straight whiskey to use winter wheat as the primary grain in its mashbill, giving it a soft, sweet flavor and medium finish. Today, on the front of the bottle, Bernheim proudly displays its finest attributes:\n \n Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey, small batch, and a 7-year age statement. With an age statement of 7 years, Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey truly is well worth the wheat.
