Description

This W.L. Weller 12 Year Old is a distinguished Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey, produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery. It is aged for 12 years, significantly longer than most wheated bourbons, resulting in a smooth, easy-going, and balanced profile with a beautiful deep bronze color. It uses a wheated mash bill, replacing rye with wheat as the secondary grain, which contributes to its softer, sweeter character. This expression is often considered a more accessible alternative to the highly sought-after Pappy Van Winkle, sharing the same wheated mash bill. The bottle is typically sold without a box.

Nose
Aromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn, and toasty vanilla, alongside classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla, and charred oak. Hints of crème brûlée, apple, apricot, cherry, dusty vanilla, grape, brown sugar, anise, and a touch of wood smoke are also present.
Palate
A warm, smooth, and heavily wheated mid-palate, layered and moderately sweet. Flavors include vanilla, caramel candy, toffee, sweet charred oak, buttery croissant, cherry, apple, raspberry, honey, cinnamon, orange zest, ginger, tobacco, leather, and dark chocolate.
Finish
Long, oaky, and intensely smooth, starting soft and gently ramping up. Notes of sweet oak, pie crust with cinnamon, toasted pecans, and red fruit return, with lingering vanilla caramel, candied orange peel, dark chocolate, and a hint of mint.
