W. L. Weller Special Reserve Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey 1L
USA : KENTUCKY : FRANKFORT
Wheated Bourbon — Corn, Wheat, Malted Barley
FULL-BODIED, HONEY, BUTTERSCOTCH, VANILLA, CARAMEL, NEW OAK
Weller Special Reserve is the entry-level expression of the wheated Buffalo Trace mash bill — the same 70% corn, 16% wheat, 14% barley recipe that runs through the entire Weller lineup and shares its DNA with Pappy Van Winkle. No age statement on the label today, though the liquid typically runs 4–7 years in new charred American oak. Bottled at 90 proof, chill-filtered, and priced as the most accessible way into the Weller family.
The flavor profile centers on honey and butterscotch, with soft caramel, vanilla, and a gentle woody sweetness on the finish. Less complex than the 12 Year, but that approachability is the point. It works as a neat pour, holds up well over ice, and makes one of the better wheated Old Fashioneds in the price range.
SUGGESTED SERVES :
| On the rocks | the wheated sweetness survives dilution cleanly — the most forgiving serve |
| Old Fashioned | soft mash bill bridges sugar and bitters without the spice of a rye |
| Neat | honey and butterscotch lead at room temperature; a gentle entry-level sipper |
90 Proof
