Bernheim Wheat Whiskey

My favorite local store participated in a single barrel pick of this today. Should be on the shelf in a month or two.

I have to admit the Bernheim tastes rather delicious at cask strength.

Any chane you could PM me which store that is? I would like to try a picked version.

I wonder why they age it in new barrels? I know the ttb states it has to be, but we have some that is what I would say is close to their mashbill that is 2 years old in used barrels and I tapped one last week and it is great. The used wood really lets the softness of the wheat shine through. We use white wheat so it is a creamy taste. Be a shame to cover it up with new oak.

When will yours be available?

I do not know yet. We will see.

What will you call it, Tom, since you can't call it wheat whiskey?

Of course, the way TTB has been lately, you can probably call it anything you want.

I just make it. I will let everbody else worry with that.

Wow CS Bernheim, that would be awesome. I am really enjoying this bottle.
