W.L. Weller Special Reserve Bourbon Whiskey is a distinguished example of the Original Wheated Bourbon, known for its remarkably smooth taste achieved by substituting wheat for the traditional rye grain. This bourbon, bottled at 90 proof, captivates with its vibrant burnt orange hue. The softer flavor profile makes it an excellent choice for both sipping and crafting cocktails.
Tasting Notes
The nose presents a spirit-driven aroma that is light and fruity, featuring notes of pear, tangerine, pineapple, lemongrass, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, you will find a delightful blend of light custard, Pawpaw fruit, lemon, and pineapple, with minimal oak influence. The finish is short and tart, leaving a refreshing impression of citrus zest and vanilla.
