Tasting Notes

Weller Full Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a highly sought-after wheated bourbon from Buffalo Trace’s Weller line, bottled at 114 proof without chill filtration. The nose opens with bold aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey, balanced by toasted oak, cinnamon, and a touch of dark fruit. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, delivering flavors of toffee, butterscotch, and baking spice layered with roasted nuts, cocoa, and subtle citrus peel. The wheated mashbill gives it a softer, rounder mouthfeel, while the high proof provides intensity and depth. The finish is long and powerful, leaving lingering notes of oak, spice, and sweet caramel.
