W. L. Weller 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

W. L. Weller was the first to offer a bourbon with wheat as the flavor grain instead of rye. The taste is dry, complex and toasty revealing cocoa dust, and soft spices. The mid-palate flavor is wheat, cedar, and nuts that are layered and moderately sweet. As part of the wheated bourbon family, this twelve year old W.L. Weller is aged far longer than most wheated bourbons. This offering is a smooth, easy-going and balanced offering with a beautiful deep bronze color. TASTING NOTES: Aromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn and toasty vanilla. The mid-palate flavor is heavily wheated, layered and moderately sweet. Long, oaky, and intensely smooth finish.
