Weller 18 year old Bourbon Whiskey

Buffalo Trace Distillery tells BourbonBlog.com they are releasing Weller 18 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey, marking the oldest wheat bourbon ever introduced under the Weller label.

Bottled at 90 proof, this ultra-aged Kentucky straight wheat whiskey exemplifies the elegance and aging potential of W.L. Weller’s original wheated mashbill.

“Weller 18 Year Old is the culmination of curiosity, tradition and time,” said Harlen Wheatley, Master Distiller tells BourbonBlog.com. “The softness of the wheat has evolved into something rich and wonderfully expressive.”
