The splendid Weller Special Reserve Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey is made by Buffalo Trace using a wheated bourbon recipe, wherein wheat rather than rye is the secondary grain in the mashbill.
The wheated style of bourbon is believed to have been created in 1849 by William Larue Weller, though today the most famous example of wheated bourbon is the Van Winkle brand, which nowadays is made at Buffalo Trace as well. The first Van Winkle and Weller wheated bourbons were both originally made at the legendary Stitzel-Weller distillery under Pappy Van Winkle who championed and popularised this style.
Wheated bourbons tend to be softer and less spicy than rye whiskeys and standard bourbons with a higher rye percentage. Weller Special Reserve is a benchmark wheated bourbon bottled at a hearty 90 US proof / 45% and is a great introduction to this style of American whiskey.
Another lovely release from Weller. Very rich with classic caramel roundness, some cherry and red fruits mid palate with a touch of wood polish. The ABV is well integrated and not harsh at all. Well worth the price in comparison to the Van Winkle releases.

I bought this for a friend who tells me it’s a "Fabulous Whisky” with some truly amazing flavours that seem to linger for quite a while. He did say that he will be very sorry to drink the last drop.
