W. L. Weller 12 Years Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 45.0% Vol. - the multi-award-winning Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey distilled by W.L. Weller and Sons!
A sought-after and rare 12 year old W.L. Weller Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at 45.0% vol. in the old equipment and the old squat bottle, distilled by W.L. Weller and Sons in Frankfort, Kentucky in the late 1990s or early 2000s.
The world-famous and multi-award-winning 12 years W.L. Weller Straight Bourbon Whiskey is distilled with a high percentage of corn, which is mandatory for bourbon from Kentucky, and is also distilled with wheat instead of rye, which is why it is also called The original Wheated Bourbon. The coveted 12 years W.L. Weller Straight Bourbon Whiskey is also affectionately referred to as The Poor Man s Pappy by connoisseurs and aficionados, as the same recipe as the iconic Pappy van Winkle Bourbon is said to be used.
The 12 Years W.L. Weller Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was matured for 12 years in American white oak barrels and the result is a wonderfully warming and extremely complex bourbon whiskey with vanilla, nutty almond notes, creamy caramel and well-balanced fruit. The palate is characterised by the use of wheat, which is reflected in its sweet and velvety texture. The finish is also extremely smooth and long, is characterised by a characterful oak note and is reminiscent of the great performance of a Pappy Van Winkle - a magnificent Straight Bourbon Whiskey!
A great expression and rare old bottling of the coveted and stunning 12 years W.L. Weller Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from W.L. Weller and Sons for connoisseurs, the discerning whiskey collector and lovers of fine old bourbon whiskeys - hard to find today!
