Weller Special Reserve Bourbon

$92.99

Weller Special Reserve is where the legend of wheated bourbon truly begins. Crafted at the iconic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky, this expression replaces rye with soft winter wheat in its mash bill — the same signature recipe later used to create the famed Pappy Van Winkle line. The result is a remarkably smooth and mellow bourbon that embodies balance and approachability without sacrificing depth.

Aged to perfection and bottled at 45% ABV, Weller Special Reserve opens with gentle notes of honey, caramel and butterscotch layered over warm oak and sweet corn. Its easy, rounded palate has made it a favourite among both collectors and newcomers to fine bourbon.

As demand for wheated bourbons continues to soar, Weller Special Reserve has become one of the most sought-after bottles on the market — known for delivering exceptional quality and heritage value well above its price. Whether you’re gifting, collecting or simply pouring a dram to enjoy neat, Weller Special Reserve stands as a timeless example of Kentucky craftsmanship and the art of smooth whiskey-making.

A true staple of any bourbon collection — approachable, authentic and unmistakably Weller.
