Its remarkable balance of rich sweetness, subtle oak, and creamy texture makes every sip an unforgettable journey. A true connoisseur's choice, embodying the heritage of wheated bourbon.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated and inviting bouquet opens with classic caramel and vanilla, beautifully intertwined with notes of sweet corn and a gentle whisper of dried orchard fruits – think baked apples and a touch of pear. Subtle hints of old leather and seasoned oak emerge, adding depth and complexity, indicative of its age.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and creamy, a hallmark of Weller’s wheated mash bill. Rich toffee and butterscotch lead the charge, quickly followed by warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Sweet oak is prominent but well-integrated, never overpowering, contributing flavors of polished wood and a delicate nuttiness. A hint of dark cherry or plum appears mid-palate, adding a fruity counterpoint to the sweetness.

Finish: The finish is long, warm, and exceptionally elegant. Sweetness gradually recedes, leaving lingering notes of spiced oak, vanilla bean, and a pleasant, velvety warmth that coats the tongue. A final touch of cocoa powder and a faint echo of wheat bread completes the experience, inviting another sip.
