I was born and raised right in the middle of Bourbon country in Louisville, KY. I’ve had my share of Bourbon and it is my choice of drink. I just was not that impressed by Bernheim Original. It has a pretty good taste and is very easy to drink but is just a little harsh for a $39 bottle of Whiskey. Its flavors are very similar to Knob Creek which is one of my favorites but not even close to being as smooth. To me this Whiskey tastes like it is a very young Whiskey and should have been left in the barrel a lot longer. Nowhere on the box or bottle label does it state how long this whiskey was in the barrel but I’m thinking that its 4 years old or younger. Definitely not worth $39 per bottle when you can get Knob Creek for right around $22 per 750 ml. My suggestion is to either leave it in the barrel for another 4 years or reduce the price to below the $20 mark.
