"A masterpiece from Heaven Hill, my only exclamation is how wonderful and overdue it is. Wheat whiskey is here to stay." - Bottle Raiders "Coming in nearly 30 proof points higher than the standard version, Bernheim Original Barrel Proof Wheat Whiskey is a bigger, bolder version that improves upon the base version in nearly every way ... " - Nick Beiter, Breaking Bourbon "What’s so interesting to me is that it drinks so much like a wheated bourbon, which I think will surprise many who drink this. I could even be fooled into thinking that it was made by Maker’s Mark, a new and better version of Maker’s Mark Cask Strength." - Alex Wang, The Whiskey Shelf "Bernheim Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey is a fabulous bottle to turn to when desiring an approachable barrel strength and to explore how wheat whiskey can shine." - Moriah Hilden, The Whiskey Wash "Amber color. Aromas and flavors of honey toasted banana herb muffin, cream of wheat with maple and cream, toffee, and hint of cherry cola with a supple, tangy, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and a peppery, complex, very long finish with nuances of creme brulee, tres leche cake, and sweet baking spices. A robust and flavor-packed Wheat Whiskey that will instantly appeal to fans of high-end Bourbon." - Tastings.com (95 Points) "As far as first releases go, Bernheim Barrel Proof A223 certainly feels like a winner, and I could see this bottle being quite popular among the bourbon geek crowd for its sweetness and accessibility. In fact, I feel like blind tastings might well land this expression above most bottles of Larceny Barrel Proof, which is impressive given that the company hasn’t had much chance to refine it or take in customer feedback yet. Regardless, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bernheim Barrel Proof become a hotly anticipated, biannual release." - Jim Vorel, Paste Magazine "Wheat whiskey in general is usually too sweet for my tastes, and that’s definitely the case here, but the added power of a barrel proof release helps to give this expression a bit more nuance and pizzazz while giving the sugar something to bounce off of. Yes, I wrote pizzazz."  - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (90 Points)
