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.
