Crafted at the prestigious Buffalo Trace Distillery, this exceptional bourbon boasts a deep bronze appearance and is aged meticulously for 6-7 years to achieve its remarkable smoothness and richness.

Taste

This unique bourbon was born from the collective wisdom of bourbon enthusiasts who participated in the "Craft Your Perfect Bourbon" (C.Y.P.B.) initiative. It is aged for eight years on the highest floors of Buffalo Trace Distillery, crafted from Mash Bill #2, and features a sour mash blend of corn, malted barley, and extra rye. The result is a bourbon that is smooth and rich, with dominant aromas of light citrus and oak. On the palate, it is well-rounded and balanced, offering a medium-long finish with slight hints of vanilla.

History

This exquisite spirit was created for whiskey aficionados through the "Craft Your Perfect Bourbon" (C.Y.P.B.) program, where participants could design their ideal bourbon recipe, age, warehouse location, and proof online. A wheat bourbon recipe was ultimately chosen by the masses, aged on the highest floors for eight years, and bottled at 95 proof at the award-winning Buffalo Trace Distillery.

Part of a series commemorating The Wellers, this bourbon honors a family that immigrated from Germany to Maryland in the 1740s and later settled in Kentucky. William Larue Weller, a pivotal figure in the family, revolutionized bourbon by introducing wheat as a secondary grain in 1849. This innovation led to the creation of softer, gentler, and slightly sweeter bourbons, like those in the Weller lineup. After Weller's passing, his legacy was carried on through the family's ventures, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery in 1935. Buffalo Trace acquired the brand in 1999 and has since continued to produce it using nearly the same recipe as Pappy's.
