We’re slightly late on the second 2024 launch of Bernheim Barrel Proof Wheat Whiskey, however hold in there with us. This one’s definitely worth the wait.
At a comparatively low 61.3% abv, B924 gives a brilliant nostril of almond butter, a contact of lemon, and maple candies — all unfettered by an excessive amount of uncooked alcohol character. With time in glass, the aromas flip virtually floral, although a bit vague.
On the palate, related overtones dominate up entrance, although the whiskey strikes rapidly right into a fruit-forward character, showcasing apples, raspberry, and cherry. Time in glass helps some extra barrel-driven components come into focus, although the woodsy notes rapidly dissolve into candy notes of vanilla and a reprise of maple. By no means syrupy or cloying, the end hits milk chocolate and hazelnut notes, toasted coconut, and a closing reprise of almond.
Among the best — if not the finest — Bernheim Barrel Proof launched up to now.
