Weller Original Wheated Bourbon 12 year 700ml

Weller 12 Year is a deeply matured expression of the brand’s signature wheated bourbon style, offering a softer, rounder profile than traditional rye-based bourbons while adding the depth and structure that come from a full 12 years in oak.

Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this Kentucky straight bourbon replaces rye with wheat in the mash bill, creating a smooth, layered character with rich sweetness, mature oak, and a polished finish. Its extended aging makes it one of the most distinctive expressions in the Weller lineup.
