This collection features two remarkable bourbons, each a testament to the Weller legacy. Taste W.L. Weller Bourbon 12 Year is a masterfully crafted wheated bourbon. Aged for a refined 12 years, it hails from the award-winning Buffalo Trace Distillery. Made from Mash Bill #2, it shares its lineage with legends like Pappy Van Winkle and Blanton’s. This bourbon is rich and complex, boasting grainy notes, subtle cocoa dust, and soft spices. The mid-palate is a symphony of wheat, cedar, and nuts, layered with lanolin, almond, creamed corn, and toasty vanilla. W.L. Weller Antique 107 Bourbon, a high-proof wheated bourbon, is bottled at 107. Aged between 6-8 years, it too originates from Buffalo Trace Distillery. Crafted from Mash Bill #2, this bourbon is a sensory delight with fragrant floral notes and sweet vanilla undertones. Its palate reveals hints of sweet fruit, balanced with strong vanilla flavors, culminating in a bold and spicy finish with profound cinnamon notes. History The Weller 12 bundle pays homage to a storied legacy. Originating in the 1740s, the Weller family established their distilling roots. By the late 18th century, they settled in Kentucky, where Daniel Weller purchased a distillery in Nelson County. William Larue Weller, after serving in the Mexican-American war, joined the family business and revolutionized bourbon by using wheat as a secondary grain. This innovation led to a softer, gentler flavor, distinguishing weller 12 and other wheated bourbons like Pappy Van Winkle. William’s legacy continued with Pappy Van Winkle, who became President of Stitzel-Weller Distillery. The company evolved, and Buffalo Trace acquired the W.L. Weller brand in 1999, preserving the time-honored recipe. Today, weller 12 remains an iconic representation of the Weller family’s enduring influence on bourbon craftsmanship. Please drink responsibly, you must be at least 21 years of age to consume alcoholic beverages.
