Re: Vintage 17
You're right, the horse has been beaten to death and then some more. If you have a newer bottle then it's Bernheim wheated bourbon.

Re: Vintage 17
Thanks,
Bernheim was one of my three candidates.
As for "newer" bottlings I dont know. Wheat shaffs on the label, Neck tag indicating MA rating of 92 and 3.5 stars out of 4....green wax sealed top. bacl label indicating its the best and rarest there ever was"You can't claim to have been drinkin all day if you don't start first thing in the mornin."

Re: Vintage 17
There are some images of the rye vs wheater iterations of the V17 taken of the labels side by side,but it will take some digging.I myself just recently did a search to show someone else and of course now I am unable to find it.

Re: Vintage 17
Doesn't the wheater simply have a scripted font on the back?

The font on the wheater is just like what you're reading here. Originally Posted by MyOldKyDram
