Weller 12 year

Few bourbons earn the kind of quiet reverence that Weller 12 Year commands. Distilled at Buffalo Trace and aged a full 12 years, this wheated bourbon swaps the traditional rye grain for soft winter wheat — the same mashbill that made William Larue Weller a legend. The result is a bourbon that's deeply smooth, richly layered, and endlessly sippable.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Lanolin, toasted almond, creamed corn, and warm vanilla
• Palate: Heavily wheated and moderately sweet — layered caramel, baking spice, and dried fruit
