This creates a softer, rounder, naturally sweeter profile with less spice and more gentle, creamy characteristics. Bernheim helped establish this category when few distilleries were making straight wheat whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 10-year age compare to regular Bernheim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10-year aging adds significant depth and complexity compared to younger Bernheim expressions. You'll find richer oak integration, more concentrated flavors, deeper vanilla and caramel notes, and better balance at the higher 115-proof bottling strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this whiskey best enjoyed neat or in cocktails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 115 proof with 10 years of aging, this anniversary edition shines neat or with a splash of water to open up the flavors.
