Bernheim Barrel Proof Bourbon showcases the boldest expression of Heaven Hill’s celebrated wheat whiskey. Bottled at full barrel proof without chill filtration, each release captures the whiskey exactly as it matured in the barrel — delivering richer texture, deeper sweetness, and intensified character that wheat whiskey fans appreciate.

Unlike traditional bourbon, Bernheim is built on a wheated mash bill, which replaces rye with wheat to create a softer, smoother flavor profile. At barrel proof, that signature smoothness remains but gains power, body, and complexity. Each batch release offers a slightly different proof and nuance while maintaining the hallmark Bernheim character.

Batch Variation Notice:
This product is released in limited batches throughout the year, including releases such as Batch A224, Batch C925, and future batch designations. Bottle received may vary by batch depending on availability, but all follow the same Bernheim Barrel Proof wheat whiskey profile.
