W.L. Weller The Original Wheated Bourbon Single Barrel is a Kentucky straight bourbon made at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. It uses the Weller wheated mash bill, which substitutes wheat for the traditional rye secondary grain, and is handpicked and bottled one barrel at a time with no chill filtration. It is bottled at 97 proof (48.5% ABV) with a suggested retail price of around $50.
Vanilla, browned butter, a little bit like fresh paper pages of a new hardback book you're dying to read. Also cherries, but mixed with creamy sweetness, like cherry vanilla ice cream.
Instead, it delivers a flavor profile dominated by a strong cherry note. Cinnamon and raspberry commingle, carrying much of the palate through to the finish. There’s plenty to like and enjoy, but nothing to completely fall in love with.
