Bernheim Barrel Proof (Batch A226), 62%

Price: 65 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Danny Brandon ● Category: Wheat Whiskey

Vanilla sherbet, waffle cone, caramel, chopped walnuts, toasted almond, and black cherry drizzle characterize a nose reminis- cent of an ice cream shop. It’s a bit fruitier on the palate, offering cherry pie, raspberry coulis, powdered sugar, chocolate sprinkles, and a bit of peppery heat from the proof. The finish adds blackberry cobbler, spiced fruit preserves, baking spices, and oak. Just a touch on the hot side, but it takes ice very well.
