About This Whiskey
Aged between 19 and 24 years, this expression features whiskey distilled in 2001, 2003, and 2006, all set aside two decades ago with the intent to create something exceptional.
While both editions from 2204 and 2025 share the same distillation years, the 2025 release features a new blend composition and a fresh take on the early 2000s vintages. The result is a luxurious, layered whiskey with notes of dark cherry, rich butterscotch, and warm vanilla, finishing boldly with oak and longevity.
Today, Buffalo Trace also introduced Weller 18-Year-Old Bourbon, the oldest age-stated Weller ever at 18 years old, released at $499, full story here.
