Weller 12 yr Old Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Weller 12 Year Old Bourbon shifts the traditional Kentucky mash bill away from robust rye grain, substituting soft wheat to create a distinctly smoother sipper that ages exactly twelve years in freshly charred new oak casks. Produced at the Buffalo Trace distillery facility in Frankfort, the wheated fermentation removes aggressive peppery heat and emphasizes gentle grain sweetness that carries through maturation into consistent 90 proof bottlings. The prolonged barrel contact pulls out deep vanillin, toffee, and baked sweet compounds, yielding a spirit that holds its structural integrity in stirred drinks without requiring supplementary dilution.

On the palate, this expression unfolds with notes of honey, warm baking spices, and concentrated red fruit that intensify as the temperature rises in the glass. Professional bartenders favor this 750ml format for Manhattan and whiskey sour construction because the extended maceration supplies reliable viscosity and amber hue that balance bittering agents and citrus juice naturally. Each bottle delivers approximately twenty five standard two ounce portions, establishing it as a functional rotating staple for home bars that transition seamlessly between straight pours and mixed-drink applications.
