Join the clubThis one isn't just a fantastic Weller 114-proof Wheated Bourbon, it's also a Flaviar Member Select!
The name "Weller" has been around the horn a few times. It all started with the Stitzel-Weller Distilling Company — founded in 1935 and closed in 1972 during the famous "Whiskey Recession". They had a bunch of great brands when they closed, and the formulas and brands were sold off. Today, the W. L. Weller brand is owned by Sazerac out of New Orleans and the Bourbons are distilled at their famous Buffalo Trace Distillery along with a wide array of Sazerac products.
Weller Full Proof is just what the name implies — that famous Wheated Bourbon bottled at its full strength of 57% ABV — the strength at which it entered the barrel — without chill filtration. That 114 proof means you get all of the aromatic esters and essential oils, making for an explosion of flavor.

Appearance / Color
Warm Amber
Nose / Aroma / Smell
Bold and complex aromas of caramel, stone fruit, leather, and baking spice greet the nose with plenty of oakiness.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Rich toffee, vanilla, and apricot notes are on the palate. A splash of water brings out a nuttiness and chocolate.
Finish
It's a long finish with the oak and cinnamon notes lingering satisfyingly.
The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in W.L. Weller Full Proof Single Barrel Flaviar Member Select and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.
Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
