Weller 12 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

W.L. Weller 12 Year stands as the original wheated bourbon, distinguished by its use of wheat instead of rye in the mash bill. This thoughtful substitution creates a distinctly softer, smoother drinking experience compared to traditional Kentucky bourbons. Aged significantly longer than most wheated expressions, this 90-proof bourbon delivers remarkable refinement and balance. Expect aromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn, and toasty vanilla, followed by a heavily wheated mid-palate with layered sweetness. The finish is long, oaky, and intensely smooth—a testament to patient maturation. The rich deep bronze hue reflects years of careful aging in charred oak. Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, W.L. Weller 12 Year represents a philosophy of bourbon-making established in the 19th century and honored to this day.
