In 2005, the late, great whisky expert Michael Jackson called this Bernheim Original 'temptation in a bottle.' (whiskymag.com) TASTING NOTE: Initial scents are floral and wheat cracker-like; aeration adds deeper, mildly sweet aromas of sap, fresh vanilla bean and light honey. Palate entry is finely balanced with wood, moderately sweet grain and acidity; by mid palate the alcohol warms the throat with off-dry flavors of charred oak, light toffee and sap. Finishes elegant and warm. A true sipping whiskey. Score: 90-95 (F. Paul Pacult, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 15, 2005) |
