Description

W.L. Weller Special Reserve is known as the 'Original Wheated Bourbon,' substituting wheat for rye grain in its mashbill, which results in an exceptionally smooth and mellow taste profile. Produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon is bottled at 90 proof and offers a gentle, easy-drinking experience with a burnt orange color. It is often hailed as an approachable and versatile whiskey, suitable for sipping neat or in cocktails.
