Description
W.L. Weller Full Proof & 12 Year Wheated Bourbon Bundle (2x750mL) — Two Highly Sought-After Buffalo Trace Wheated Bourbons in One Collector's Set
Experience two distinctive sides of the legendary W.L. Weller lineup with the Weller Full Proof & 12 Year Wheated Bourbon Bundle. Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, both expressions use Weller's celebrated wheated bourbon recipe, replacing rye with wheat as the secondary grain to create the softer, sweeter character that has made Weller one of the most sought-after names in American whiskey.
This two-bottle collection pairs the power and intensity of W.L. Weller Full Proof, bottled at a commanding 114 Proof, with the remarkable maturity and elegance of W.L. Weller 12 Year, aged for a full twelve years and bottled at 90 Proof. Together, they provide an exceptional side-by-side tasting of how proof and extended barrel maturation can transform the same iconic wheated bourbon style.
