Created by the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery, this exceptional bourbon boasts a deep bronze appearance and is aged for a distinguished 7 years. The weller 1.75 stands out with a gold medal from the 2019 New York World Spirits Competition, a testament to its unparalleled quality.

This special reserve bourbon is meticulously crafted using Mash Bill #2, in the esteemed company of other great blends such as Pappy Van Winkle, Blanton's, and Elmer T. Lee. This sour mash bill, featuring corn, malted barley, and extra rye, delivers a smooth and mellow profile with distinctive grainy notes complemented by slight hints of sweet caramel. On the palate, enjoy the harmonious layers of honey, butterscotch, and a gentle woodiness, culminating in a smooth finish with a sweet honeysuckle flair.

Weller's legacy dates back to the 1740s, with roots deeply embedded in Kentucky's distilling history. After serving in the Mexican-American war, William Larue Weller returned to join his family's distillery, pioneering the use of wheat instead of rye as a secondary grain in bourbon. This innovation led to the creation of softer, gentler, and slightly sweeter bourbons, setting the standard for successors like Pappy Van Winkle and Larceny Bourbon.

Weller's reputation grew, marked by the iconic green thumbprint certification of authenticity on his barrels and invoices. The brand's evolution continued through the efforts of his descendants and partners, eventually leading to the formation of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Today, Buffalo Trace Distillery honors this rich heritage, producing the weller 1.75 with nearly the same recipe that has been cherished for generations.
