Discover the signature smoothness of Weller Special Reserve Bourbon, a distinguished American whiskey celebrated for its unique "wheated" mash bill.

Presented in a 750ml bottle at a versatile 45% ABV (90 Proof), it's a superb introduction to the Weller family's revered legacy.

Tasting Profile: Weller Special Reserve pours with a beautiful golden amber hue. The nose is inviting and sweet, brimming with aromas of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and a hint of fruit. On the palate, its defining smoothness comes to the fore; notes of sweet honey, butterscotch, and soft orchard fruits are complemented by gentle oak and a touch of cinnamon, all without the sharp spice often associated with rye bourbons. The finish is pleasant and lingering, with a warm, sweet embrace.

Serving Suggestions: Weller Special Reserve's smooth and inviting profile makes it exceptionally versatile. Enjoy it neat to appreciate its nuanced flavours, or on the rocks for a refreshing chill. It also serves as an outstanding base for classic bourbon cocktails, lending a roundness and sweetness to an Old Fashioned, a balanced Whiskey Sour, or a comforting Manhattan.

About Weller Bourbon: The Weller brand holds a significant place in bourbon history, famously linked to William Larue Weller, who pioneered the use of wheat in his bourbon's mash bill instead of rye. Today, Weller Special Reserve is produced at the iconic Buffalo Trace Distillery, carrying forward this unique tradition. Its wheated recipe results in a softer, gentler, and sweeter whiskey, making it highly sought after by bourbon enthusiasts and a perfect choice for those who appreciate a smooth and approachable style.
