W.L. Weller Wheated Bourbon Whiskey

What Makes Weller Different

Most bourbons use rye as the secondary grain in their mash bill — rye adds spice and bite. Weller replaces rye with wheat, producing a softer, sweeter, more approachable flavor profile: vanilla, caramel, honey, and dried fruit with a remarkably smooth finish. This wheated recipe is the same one used for the legendary Pappy Van Winkle family of bourbons, made at the same distillery. The difference is price and availability — Weller delivers that same DNA in bottles you can actually find and afford.

The Core Lineup

• W.L. Weller Special Reserve — The entry point and the everyday sipper. Honey, butterscotch, soft oak, and a gentle sweetness that makes it dangerously easy to drink. One of the best bourbons for its price in the entire market.
• W.L. Weller Antique 107 — Bottled at 107 proof, this is the high-proof expression with more intensity — toffee, clove, dark fruit, and floral undertones. More complexity, more character, more finish.
• W.L. Weller Full Proof — Bottled at its original entry-to-barrel proof of 114. Bold, rich, and uncut — the truest expression of the Weller mash bill at its most powerful. Honey, brown sugar, and warm spice throughout.
• W.L. Weller 12 Year Old — The most coveted standard release in the lineup. Twelve years of aging takes the soft wheated character to a new level: deep vanilla, almond, baking spice, and extraordinary smoothness. Highly allocated and sells out fast.
• W.L. Weller 12 Year (Liter) — The 1-liter version of the flagship. More whiskey, same excellence.

Single Barrel & Special Expressions

• W.L. Weller Single Barrel — Each bottle from a single, individually selected cask. Expect all the core Weller character — vanilla, wheat sweetness, rich oak — with the unique variation that only a single barrel can provide.
• W.L. Weller Full Proof VW&S Single Barrel Select — A barrel hand-picked by Vintage Wine & Spirits. Our own private selection — full proof, single barrel, exclusive to LoveScotch. This is the barrel we chose because we thought it was exceptional, and it is.
• W.L. Weller C.Y.P.B. (Craft Your Perfect Bourbon) — A unique release where you can taste the components that go into blending Weller. Educational, delicious, and a great gift for bourbon enthusiasts who want to understand what goes into every bottle.

Rare & Collector Releases

• William Larue Weller 2023 Edition — The pinnacle of the Weller family. Part of Buffalo Trace's prestigious Antique Collection, released once a year in extremely limited quantities. Uncut, unfiltered, and aged approximately 12 years. Extraordinary complexity — dark fruit, leather, vanilla, and oak in a bottle that earns every bit of its legendary reputation.
• William Larue Weller 2024 Edition — The latest annual release. Same benchmark standard, new barrel selection. If you can get a bottle, do.
• W.L. Weller Millennium — A rare, aged expression released to mark a special milestone. For serious collectors only — rich, deep, and extraordinarily mature.

Bundles

• Weller, Kamiki & Spirit of Hven Bundle — A curated trio pairing Weller with two exceptional world whiskies. A great way to explore wheated bourbon alongside international craft expressions.
