Weller Special Reserve

Weller Special Reserve is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery, known for its smooth and approachable character. This wheated bourbon, crafted using Buffalo Trace's wheated mashbill, is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV). On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of dried fruit. The palate presents a harmonious blend of honey, butterscotch, and soft woodiness, complemented by subtle notes of cinnamon and citrus.

As the entry-level offering in the Weller lineup, Special Reserve delivers a sweet and mellow drinking experience that appeals to both bourbon enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Its softer flavor profile, attributed to the use of wheat instead of rye in the mashbill, makes it versatile for sipping neat or as a base for cocktails. While it has become increasingly difficult to find due to high demand, Weller Special Reserve remains an excellent value at its suggested retail price, offering a quality bourbon experience that showcases the appealing characteristics of wheated bourbons. Despite its growing scarcity, it continues to be appreciated for its smooth taste and well-balanced flavor, making it a sought-after bottle in the world of American whiskey.
