About Weller Single Barrel Bourbon
Weller Single Barrel Bourbon is a distinctive expression in the Weller lineup crafted at the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky. Unlike blended bourbon batches, each release of Weller Single Barrel Bourbon comes from an individual barrel, allowing the unique character of that barrel to shine through.
Using the traditional wheated mash bill, wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain, producing the smooth and mellow character that Weller bourbons are known for. Bottled at 97 proof, this bourbon offers rich caramel sweetness, vanilla notes, and refined oak spice.
Because each barrel develops differently during maturation, Weller Single Barrel Bourbon delivers subtle variations in flavor that make every bottle a unique experience for collectors and bourbon enthusiasts.
