Description
Weller 12 is a well-regarded bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky, named after bourbon pioneer William Larue Weller. This whiskey is part of the Weller line, known for its use of wheat instead of rye in the mash bill, which creates a smoother, softer profile. Weller 12 is aged for 12 years in charred American oak barrels, allowing it to develop rich and complex flavors.
What makes Weller 12 special is its combination of a wheated mash bill and extended aging. The result is a bourbon with a smooth, sweet character thats highly sought after by enthusiasts. Its often compared to the much more expensive Pappy Van Winkle, earning it the nickname “poor man’s Pappy.”
In terms of taste, Weller 12 offers notes of caramel, vanilla, and honey on the nose, with a palate of butterscotch, toffee, and dried fruit. The finish is long and warm, with lingering hints of oak, vanilla, and cocoa. This bourbon is ideal for sipping neat, offering a refined and satisfying experience.
