W. L. Weller 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Product Description

Born in 1825, William Larue Weller was one of the early whiskey pioneers in America. W.L. Weller marketed his original bourbon recipe with wheat, rather than rye in the mash bill. Weller spent his lifetime educating consumers about the differences in his bourbon. Wheat is a soft grain providing this bourbon with a mild, gentle and smooth sipping experience. Weller also believed in the importance of aging his whiskey. This fine twelve year old bourbon whiskey has a deep amber color, with complex flavors of vanilla, oak and cinnamon. A tribute to the man who made wheated bourbon legendary. Brand Story: As part of the wheated bourbon family, this twelve year old W.L. Weller is aged far longer than most wheated bourbons. This offering is a smooth, easy-going and balanced offering with a beautiful deep bronze color. MW Notes: While not as rare the Van Winkle line, W.L. Weller bourbons produced by the same distillery, are without a doubt, hard to find products. Tasting Notes: Aromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn and toasty vanilla. The mid-palate flavor is heavily wheated, layered and moderately sweet. Long, oaky, and intensely smooth finish.
