Crafted at the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery, this expression pays tribute to William Larue Weller, a pioneering distiller who, in the 19th century, championed the use of wheat instead of rye in the mash bill—resulting in a softer, more approachable bourbon. His innovation laid the foundation for some of today’s most celebrated wheated whiskeys, including the iconic Weller series and the legendary Pappy Van Winkle line.

Bottled at 70cl, this exceptional Kentucky bourbon offers a smooth, full-bodied experience; perfect savoured neat or reserved for special moments, William Larue Weller Special Reserve is a quintessential expression of Kentucky whiskey production.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Inviting and expressive, the nose opens with layers of soft vanilla, honeycomb, and ripe orchard fruits—notably red apples and pears—intertwined with gentle hints of toffee, cinnamon, and a whisper of freshly baked bread, characteristic of its wheated mash bill.

Palate

Exceptionally smooth and well-rounded, the palate showcases a harmonious blend of creamy caramel, butterscotch, and toasted oak, balanced by nutmeg, sweet cereal grain, and a touch of dark chocolate. The wheat influence imparts a velvety texture, enhancing its easy-drinking charm without sacrificing depth.

Finish

Medium to long, the finish reveals a graceful fade of soft spice, oak tannins, and a lingering note of brown sugar and vanilla custard, leaving the palate warm and satisfyingly rich.
