History:
This award-winning wheated bourbon collection is deeply rooted in tradition. Named to honor the legacy of William Larue Weller, whose family began distilling in the 1740s, it carries forward the innovative spirit of its namesake. After serving in the Mexican-American War, William Larue Weller revolutionized bourbon by using wheat as a secondary grain instead of rye in 1849. This softer, sweeter flavor profile became a hallmark of Weller’s bourbon, setting a standard for excellence that continues today under the stewardship of Buffalo Trace Distillery, which has been producing this cherished whiskey since acquiring the brand in 1999.
