Tasting Notes

Weller 12 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is one of the most coveted wheated bourbons from Buffalo Trace, aged a full twelve years to achieve remarkable smoothness and depth. The nose opens with layered aromas of vanilla, caramel, and honey, balanced by dried fruit, toasted oak, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is rich and elegant, offering flavors of toffee, dark cherry, cocoa, and roasted nuts, accented by gentle spice and leather. The long aging gives it a velvety texture and refined complexity. The finish is long, warming, and sophisticated, with lingering notes of caramel, oak, and sweet spice.
