jmpyle Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 So what is the mashbill percentages of Bernheim Wheat?I have always assumed it was all wheat except for some barley to get the fermentation going.It's good whiskey but I find the finish very short.Oscar I am not sure, but I'd be surprised if it's much north of the minimum 51% wheat. Total guess.The press release from Heaven Hill in 2005 states the following: "The new whiskey is the first of its kind. Heaven Hill Father and Son Master Distillers Parker and Craig Beam developed the wheat formula with a minimum of 51% winter wheat – the recipe also includes corn and malted barley."

cowdery Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yes, 51% wheat, 37% corn and 12% malt. They make about 1,200 barrels of it a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddigger Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I talked to Craig Beam at a bottle signing last week and he did confirm that there are some older Bernheim barrels aging that might get a special release depending on how they turn out. Could be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
