W.L. Weller 12 Year Old is produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, using the same wheat-forward mash bill that William Larue Weller pioneered over 150 years ago: replacing rye with wheat as the secondary grain to produce a softer, rounder, more approachable spirit. After 12 years in new charred American oak, the result is a bourbon of exceptional balance, depth, and character. Bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e W.L.

Weller \u0026amp; Buffalo Trace\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliam Larue Weller was a 19th-century whiskey merchant who first introduced the concept of replacing rye with wheat in the bourbon mash bill — creating the distinctively smooth, approachable character that later inspired some of America's most celebrated bourbons. Today, Weller is produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky — one of the most decorated distilleries in the world. The 12 Year Old is the flagship aged expression of the range, offering a perfect balance between the youthful vibrancy of the wheat spirit and the depth that twelve years in American oak delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBourbon enthusiasts who love the classic wheated style\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose who enjoy Pappy Van Winkle's character at a more accessible price\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA premium gift for any serious American whiskey lover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSipping neat, with a single ice cube, or in an elevated Old Fashioned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Authenticity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold by Whiskys.co.uk is 100% authentic and sourced through verified, trusted channels.
