Description

Named after the man famed for being the first to create "wheated bourbon", in which the spicy rye grain is substituted for wheat in the mashbill. W L Weller's high proportion of wheat in the mashbill gives this a silky smoothness, and the overall effect is a fantastic flavour and intensity. The result is a smooth and delicate aged whiskey, a fine tribute to the man himself.

Producer

William Larue Weller (1825–1899) was a distiller in the early days of Kentucky. He was supposedly the first to produce straight bourbon using wheat instead of rye in the mashbill. His wheated bourbon was first produced in 1849.

In 1999, the brand was acquired by the Sazerac Company. Today, W.L Weller is produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Similary to other bourbons, Weller is distilled from a mash composed of at least 51% corn (maize). The secondary grain used for the Weller brand is wheat, whereas most bourbons use rye.
