W.L. Weller 12 Year is a Kentucky straight wheated bourbon whiskey aged for twelve years, producing a smooth, balanced, and remarkably refined spirit with a rich deep bronze hue. Produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), this expression uses wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain in the mash bill, creating a softer and smoother flavor profile that stands out among traditional bourbons.

Tasting notes reveal aromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn, and toasty vanilla. The mid-palate flavor is heavily wheated, layered, and moderately sweet. The finish is long, oaky, and intensely smooth. This bourbon has won 67 awards, including a 2024 Best in Class/Double Gold from Whiskies of the World, 2024 Platinum from San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and a 93.5 rating from Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal.

The 1-liter bottle format is particularly sought after by collectors. W.L. Weller 12 Year is recommended to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its complex character. The whiskey preserves William Larue Weller's original 19th-century wheated bourbon philosophy and remains highly sought after due to its exceptional quality and limited availability.
