Bernheim Original

Bernheim Original Wheat American Whiskey is a distinguished and unique expression within the world of American whiskeys. It stands out for its use of wheat as the primary grain in its mash bill, setting it apart from the more common corn or rye-based bourbons. Crafted by Heaven Hill Distillery, one of the oldest and most respected whiskey producers in the United States, Bernheim Original pays homage to the legacy of its namesake, Isaac Wolfe Bernheim, a bourbon pioneer and philanthropist. What sets Bernheim Original apart is its high wheat content, which comprises 51% of the mash bill, along with corn, barley, and a small percentage of rye. This distinctive grain combination results in a smoother, softer, and more approachable whiskey compared to traditional bourbons.
