Weller Special Reserve
$90.00
Weller Special Reserve Wheated Bourbon Whiskey is the entry level to the Weller line. For the price, it’s one of the more popular and delicious bourbons you can find (at retail, at least). Bottled at 90 Proof (45% ABV), W.L. Weller Special Reserve is approachable and enjoyable. It has no age statement, and it certainly tastes a bit young, but it’s a great mixer or daily drinker where it is readily available.

- Description
Description
Upon his return to Kentucky following the war, W.L. Weller joined the family business and began working at his grandfather’s distillery. Weller had a sharp palate and a keen sense for business and in 1849, he introduced the first bourbon ever that used wheat as its secondary grain instead of rye. Wheated bourbons (including Pappy Van Winkle and Larceny Bourbon, which eventually imitated W.L. Weller’s mashbill) have a softer and more gentle flavor profile as compared to bourbons that use rye as their secondary grain, and have a slightly sweeter taste. Weller’s bourbon was incredibly popular in antebellum America and ultimately forced him to place a green thumbprint on his invoices and barrels as a certificate of authenticity. The Original Wheated Bourbon Whiskey features an exceptionally smooth taste, substituting wheat for rye grain. Bottled at 90 proof, W.L. Weller Special Reserve stands out with its burnt orange color. Its softer flavor notes make this bourbon great for sipping or making cocktails.
