Historical Excellence

This 12-year-old wheat bourbon carries a storied history, honoring the Weller family’s roots dating back to the 1740s. The Wellers, who emigrated from Germany to Maryland, eventually settled in Kentucky by the late 18th century. William Larue Weller, a pivotal figure in the family, introduced the innovative concept of using wheat as a secondary grain in 1849, revolutionizing the bourbon landscape.

Renowned for its softer, gentler flavor and a slightly sweeter finish, this bourbon gained immense popularity, necessitating a green thumbprint for authenticity. Over the years, the legacy continued to flourish, culminating in the acquisition by Buffalo Trace in 1999, where the bourbon has been meticulously crafted with a nearly unchanged recipe.

For those seeking to explore this historic bourbon, the weller 12 price reflects its esteemed quality and heritage. Please enjoy responsibly and remember, you must be at least 21 years old to indulge in this fine spirit.
