W.L. Weller Special Reserve is a benchmark American bourbon, celebrated for its exceptionally smooth and approachable character. Known as “The Original Wheated Bourbon”, it replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat, resulting in a softer, rounder and more mellow flavour profile.
Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), this bourbon offers a rich yet easy-drinking experience, making it ideal for both neat sipping and premium cocktails. Its signature style has made Weller a favourite among enthusiasts seeking a more refined, gentle bourbon.
In the glass, expect a warm burnt orange hue, followed by inviting aromas of caramel and soft sweetness. The palate is smooth and delicate, delivering notes of honey, butterscotch and light oak, all wrapped in a velvety texture. The finish is clean and elegant, with a lingering honeysuckle sweetness.
A true everyday premium bourbon, balanced, smooth and effortlessly enjoyable.
