W.L. Weller Millennium 75cl

Part of the original wheated bourbon whiskey family - meaning production involves wheat instead of the usual rye for bourbons - W. L. Weller was a brand founded by the Stitzel-Weller Distilling Company which has been sold several times over the years and is now under the ownership of the Buffalo Trace Distillery. The bourbon takes the name of William Larue Weller who was apparently the first to produce straight bourbon using wheat in 1849.

The distillation team at Buffalo Trace has chosen to pay respect to W.L. Weller by setting aside some of the first whisky distilled in the new millennium for the sole purpose of creating this remarkable innovation. A blend of vintage straight bourbon and wheat whisky distilled in 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2006, Weller Millennium highlights the impact that wheat has on whisky flavours.
