W.L. Weller is credited with being the first distiller to produce Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey using wheat instead of rye in the mash bill. Weller’s original “wheated bourbons” became extremely popular, with a softer, smoother taste. There’s no question Weller Special Reserve is a quality bourbon, but its quality is in its value as an “everyday” drinker, one that you might lean on as a staple in your standard rotation. Classic aromas of vanilla, caramel, and honey, punctuated by a light trace of oak and a floral note. It's characteristically sweet and quite soft on the palate.
