Weller Full Proof

W.L. Weller750 ml57% ABV

Bold un-chillfiltered wheated bourbon at true barrel entry proof

This exceptional wheated bourbon is bottled at the exact barrel entry proof of 114, bypassing chill filtration to preserve its rich, full-bodied character. The palate is met with a robust wave of dark cherry, toasted oak, and rich caramel that yields to a warm, lingering finish.

The story behind it

The maker

The W.L. Weller brand was created to honor William Larue Weller, an 19th-century distiller who became famous for introducing the wheated bourbon style. Today, the brand is produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, maintaining a reputation for crafting some of the most sought-after whiskies in the world.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, this bourbon honors the legacy of trailblazer W.L. Weller, who pioneered using wheat instead of rye in the mash bill. Bottled at 114 proof, it replicates the exact strength of the spirit when it first entered the charred oak barrels.
