W.L. Weller 12 Year Original Wheated Bourbon
W.L. Weller 12 Year is one of the most sought-after bottles in the Weller lineup. Like all Weller bourbons it uses wheat instead of rye, which makes it soft and sweet, and at twelve years old it is aged far longer than most wheated bourbons, adding depth and a long, oaky finish.
Made at Buffalo Trace and often compared with Pappy Van Winkle's wheated mash bill, Weller 12 is hard to find on store shelves and a standout gift for bourbon collectors.
