Tasting Notes

W.L. Weller Single Barrel is a wheated bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery, offering a unique take on the celebrated Weller line by showcasing the individuality of a single barrel. The nose opens with rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey layered with baking spice and oak. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, delivering flavors of toffee, butterscotch, and dark fruit balanced by cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of leather. Each barrel provides subtle variations, but the profile is consistently rich and refined. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of oak, sweet wheat, and spice.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with smoked almonds, charcuterie, or spiced pecans. For a main course, it complements grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or roasted duck with cherry glaze. In the cheese course, aged gouda, blue cheese, or sharp cheddar match its depth. For dessert, it pairs beautifully with pecan pie, flourless chocolate cake, or bread pudding with bourbon sauce.
