Well Balanced Flavor Profile

Notes Of Vanilla, Caramel, Citrus, Oak & Spices.

W.L. Weller bourbons are celebrated for their smooth, refined profiles, thanks to the use of wheat instead of rye, which imparts a softer, sweeter flavor. The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of caramel, vanilla, and buttered oak, accented by subtle hints of spice and honey. On the palate, the wheat's smoothness shines through, offering flavors of creamy toffee, rich vanilla, and a touch of fruit, such as cherry and apricot, all wrapped in a silky mouthfeel with a mild, spicy warmth. The finish is long and mellow, with lingering notes of oak, spice, and a gentle sweetness, creating a satisfying and smooth conclusion. Each expression of W.L. Weller highlights the brand's signature elegance and complexity, making it a favorite among bourbon connoisseurs.
