Weller, Kentucky Straight Original Wheated Bourbon Full Proof

Produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, the W.L. Weller brand traces its lineage back to William Larue Weller, who founded his own distilling business in 1849. This bourbon is made from a mash bill that substitutes wheat for the traditional rye, a practice pioneered by Weller to achieve a softer, more accessible spirit. In the glass, this non-chill filtered whiskey presents a rich, velvety texture with prominent notes of vanilla, oak, and dark cherry. While the release cycle is annual rather than tied to a single growing season, the 114-proof bottling captures the intensity of the liquid exactly as it entered the barrel for maturation. Its balanced profile and depth make it a compelling choice to enjoy neat tonight.
