W.L. Weller 12 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey

W.L. Weller is a bourbon whiskey crafted by Buffalo Trace Distillery, part of the Weller series, named after the renowned 19th-century distiller William Larue Weller, known for using wheat instead of rye in his mash bill. As a wheated bourbon with a highly similar mash bill to the now-discontinued and highly sought-after Pappy Van Winkle, Weller is considered by many to be a more accessible and affordable alternative. This perception exists largely due to the deep historical connection between the Van Winkle and W.L. Weller companies.

This expression uses wheat as part of its ingredients, then it is aged for 12 years in charred oak barrels, produced in limited quantities, and highly prized by American whiskey enthusiasts.

It offers aromas of nuts, buttery corn, and sweet vanilla. The palate is sweet with a creamy texture, featuring a rich mid-palate of wheated notes. The finish is long, leaving lingering oak accents.
