9/10 par Dave Broom : "une merveille, doux et exotique à la fois".Tasting note
- Appearance : vieil or intense à reflets topaze.
- Nose : fin et ferme à la fois. Notes de vernis. Dans un premier temps dominé par la céréale, il évolue à l'aération sur les fruits (prune, mirabelle) et de jolies notes cendrées.
- Palate : puissante, vive. Elle dévoile un caractère végétal (herbe fraîche) et fibreux (bois brut). Noyau d'abricot.
- Overall : longue. Fines notes de chocolat noir et de céréales rehaussées de notes pimentées.

The brand
Bernheim, produced by the distillery of the same name and owned by Heaven Hill, is a small batch Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey created in 2000. Produced using a mix of wheat (51%), maize (39%) and malted barley (10%), each bottle contains a blend of 75 specially-selected casks. Lighter and less sweet than a bourbon (which has a higher percentage of maize), Bernheim is a subtle, round and sweet whisky in a category all of its own.
The distillery
America's largest family-owned and operated distilled spirits producer and marketer, Heaven Hill Brands has grown beyond its traditional roots as a Bourbon distiller to become the country's seventh largest overall distilled spirits producer and marketer with a portfolio of well-known, innovative and relevant products. Heaven Hill remains the world's second largest holder of Bourbon Whiskey and produces some of the most successful distilled spirits brands in the U.S.
