Process & Profile

Bernheim Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey Batch C925 is an uncut, non-chill filtered release from Heaven Hill Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. Bottled straight from the barrel with no proofing down, this limited batch captures the whiskey in its most concentrated and expressive form. As a true straight wheat whiskey, it uses a mash bill led by winter wheat rather than corn, resulting in a softer grain character that contrasts with its robust barrel strength.

Batch C925 is aged for approximately seven to nine years in new, charred American oak barrels, allowing extended interaction with the wood while preserving the signature sweetness and rounded mouthfeel associated with wheat-forward whiskeys. The barrel proof presentation highlights the depth developed during maturation, delivering bold flavor without filtration or dilution.
