W.L. WELLER 12

The Original Wheated Bourbon

As a standout in the wheated bourbon family, W.L. Weller 12 Year is aged significantly longer than most, resulting in a bourbon that is smooth, balanced, and remarkably refined, with a rich deep bronze hue.

TASTING NOTES

Aromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn and toasty vanilla.

The mid-palate flavor is heavily wheated, layered and moderately sweet.

Long, oaky and intensely smooth finish.

“The deep bronze color beautifully reflects the light…high-spirited, lusciously toasty, and animated bouquet that has top-notch Bourbon written all over it; dry, complex, and toasty palate.”

UNIQUE FACTS

Weller bourbons use wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain, creating a softer, smoother flavor profile that stands out among traditional Kentucky bourbons.

Certain W.L. Weller expressions, like William Larue Weller from the Antique Collection, are released annually in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by collectors.

The brand preserves Weller’s original philosophy and style, maintaining the same wheated mash bill concept first introduced by William Larue Weller in the 19th century.
