W.L. Weller 12 Year Old | 45% | 70cl | The Original Wheated Bourbon | Kentucky
The original wheated bourbon — and one of the most beloved expressions in the entire Weller lineup. 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).

About W.L. Weller & Buffalo Trace
William 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.
