The William Larue Weller 12yo bourbon whiskey is a product of American whiskey-making tradition and innovation. This whiskey is part of the legacy of William Larue Weller, a pioneer in the bourbon industry who was the first to use wheat as the predominant grain in the mash bill, replacing rye. This 12-year-old whiskey is aged longer than most wheat bourbons and is often referred to as the "poor man's Pappy." The whiskey is made using Buffalo Trace Distillery's wheated mash bill, which is also used in the production of Pappy Van Winkle bourbons. The main difference between the two lies in barrel management. The proof of the Weller 12yo helps to tighten up the whiskey and gives it a less cloying texture. The whiskey has a rich and complex flavor profile, with notes of vanilla, orange peel, and chocolate, all loaded up with warming baking spices. On the nose, the whiskey has a sweet and spicy aroma, with hints of vanilla, caramel, and oak. The palate is smooth and creamy, with a rich and full-bodied texture. The finish is long and warming, with a lingering sweetness and a touch of spice. The Weller 12yo is a testament to the craftsmanship and tradition of American whiskey-making. It is a whiskey that is sure to delight both novice and experienced whiskey drinkers alike. This particular bottling was released in 2019 and is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, with a proof of 45% and a volume of 700ml. The distillery has a rich and storied history, having been rebuilt, expanded, and renamed several times over the years since the first official distillery at what is now Buffalo Trace was built by Harrison Blanton in 1812.
