About this deal

The nose opens with bright hints of ripe red cherries and continues to the mouth with a soft vanilla and dry wood taste. This content is intended for readers 21+. Please drink responsibly.

This wheated bourbon is aged over 12 years, resulting in high alcohol content, excellent tasting notes, and a smooth finish. While it may share similar mash bill and barrel specifications as Pappy, Weller bourbons have a unique flavor profile, making it one of the most sought-after spirits in the market today. The mash bills of this whiskey went through the milling process first. It is a crucial process because the grains’ integrity must be maintained before cooking.

Weller Single Barrel is a mistake. Let me clarify; Buffalo Trace didn’t needto create Weller Single Barrel, they already had 3 other versions of Weller that could be selected in their single barrel program(Special Reserve, Antique and Full Proof). As the barrels age, a team of tastersemployed by the Van Winkle family sample through the barrels and identify ones that they feel have the potential to wear their name. The rest of the barrels are relegated to the Wellerline of bourbon. Value, because a top-notch bourbon that breaks the bank can hardly be considered a sensible choice for most.

History

The term uncut works almost the same way. It dilutes the spirit to reach a lower alcohol content, most commonly 45% A.B.V. What Is W.L. Weller Craft Your Perfect Bourbon (C.Y.P.B.)? The combination of its unique character and complexity means it continues to be a highly sought-after bottle within the bourbon community.

This twelve-year-old W.L. Weller is a wheated bourbon that has matured significantly longer than other wheated bourbons. This bourbon has a wonderful rich bronze hue and is smooth, easygoing, and balanced.

More Fun Bourbons

After Antique 107 and Full Proof, the Single Barrel proof is the latest addition to the brand’s lineup, which was released in June 2020 and is bottled at 97 proof. Notably, William Larue Weller hired the famous Julian Van Winkle, who would later be known as “Pappy.” Van Winkle began his career working for Weller. Weller passed in 1899, and coincidentally his company, W.L. Weller & Sons, later merged with the A. Ph. Stitzel Distillery which was owned by Van Winkle. The companies worked together through Prohibition operating under a medicinal license, and eventually became the Stitzel-Weller Distilling Company in 1935. As part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, this bourbon impresses with its uncut, unfiltered, barrel-proof strength and well-aged lineage. Bourbons generally taste sweeter than other types of whiskey , but wheated bourbons amplify this sweetness and add a fruity flavor to the liquor. On the other hand, Van Winkle aged their barrels on the lower floor at a constant cool temperature.
