W.L. Weller 12 Years Wheated Bourbon - 75cl/45%

Introducing the W.L. Weller 12 Years Wheated Bourbon, a distinguished spirit that embodies the rich tradition of Kentucky bourbon-making. This exquisite wheated bourbon carries the legacy of William Larue Weller, a pioneering distiller who, in the mid-19th century, made the daring choice to replace rye with wheat in his bourbon recipe, creating a smoother, softer bourbon profile.

The W.L. Weller 12 Years is crafted with meticulous care, aged for twelve years in deeply charred oak barrels. This extended aging process allows the bourbon to develop a deep amber color and a complexity that connoisseurs treasure. The use of wheat as the secondary grain, instead of the more traditional rye, imparts a unique softness to the palate, distinguishing it from its counterparts.

On the nose, this bourbon offers inviting aromas of vanilla, caramel, and molasses, with subtle undertones of toasted oak that speak to its well-aged character. The taste is an elegant cascade of sweet, buttery toffee and honey, with a richness balanced by light notes of mint and a hint of fruit. The finish is long, smooth, and remarkably gentle, making each sip a luxurious experience.

Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a sophisticated component in a crafted cocktail, W.L. Weller 12 Years Wheated Bourbon stands as a testament to the fine art of bourbon making. It's a perfect choice for those who appreciate a refined, well-rounded spirit with a story to tell and a smoothness that only a well-wheated bourbon can deliver.
