Bernheim Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey is made with Heaven Hill’s wheat whiskey mashbill which is comprised of 51% wheat, 37% corn, and 12% malted barley. Bottles of this release feature the B923 batch number on the front of each bottle next to the Barrel Proof designation. The letter “B” represents the second batch of the year. The first number represents the month of the release with “9” indicating September. Finally, the last two digits indicate the corresponding year with “23” designating 2023.
According to Heaven Hill, this extension to the Bernheim brand delivers the same familiar smoothness with even more depth of flavor from seven to nine full years of aging. Pulled straight from the barrel and bottled without chill filtration, Bernheim Barrel Proof wheat whiskey in its purest form. Like the Original, Barrel Proof is produced at the namesake Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky and aged in Heaven Hill’s rickhouses. Bernheim Barrel Proof will be a nationally allocated product which will be released in batches, twice a year.
