Large variety Weller, 12 Year Wheated Bourbon, Kentucky, 750mL

“Wheated Bourbon” is bourbon with wheat as the predominant grain in the mash bill after corn. Traditionally, rye takes that second billing. This 12-year-old whiskey is referred to by some as the “poor man’s Pappy”. With the exception of the 23 Year Pappy Van Winkle which still has some Stitzel-Weller juice in it, all Pappy and Weller bourbons use the Buffalo Trace wheat mash bill. The main difference will be in the barrel management.

Tasting Notes: The nose and flavor profile shows notes such as vanilla, orange peel, and chocolate all loaded up with warming baking spices. 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. Exceptional!
