W.L. Weller – 12 Year Old (70cl, 45%)

W.L. Weller – 12 Year Old is a whisky from W.L. Weller. Aged 12 years, bottled at 45% ABV, 70cl. Part of the original wheated bourbon whiskey family - meaning production involves wheat instead of the usual rye for bourbons - W. L. Weller was a brand founded by the Stitzel-Weller Distilling Company which has been sold several times over the years and is now under the ownership of the Buffalo Trace Distillery. The bourbon takes the name of William Larue Weller who was apparently the first to produce straight bourbon using wheat in 1849. This 12 Year Old from Buffalo Trace has a silky smooth finish with bags of flavour thanks it its high proportions of wheat in the mashbill.
