W.L. Weller Special Reserve Bourbon Whiskey (1.75L)
(1.75l, 45%)
W.L. Weller Special Reserve "Green Label" is the original wheated Bourbon with a smooth profile.
The Stitzel-Weller Distillery is stuff of Bourbon legend. It was founded on Derby Day in 1935 by Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle himself and some of the most legendary Bourbons and brands were made there. The distillery itself was closed in 1992 and is now a museum-like adjunct of Bulleit Bourbon Experience owned by Diageo. But there is a lot of left-over Weller Bourbon in the storage lofts, along with "orphan" casks from other distilleries. But the Weller brand still produces some of the most sought-after Bourbons of the day — all flowing from the stills in the famous Buffalo Trace Distillery.
Weller is sometimes called "The Original Wheated Bourbon." That’s because it is distilled from a mash bill of corn, wheat, and barley… no rye at all. And that combination always yields a smoother Spirits with fewer spices notes and more toffee/caramel notes. W. L. Weller Special Reserve is their Gold Medal-winning entry into the category. We say it makes an exceptional sipping Bourbon at 45% ABV.

Ratings & Reviews
Josh,
177$ is a joke to be selling this at. Complete ripoff. Stop taking advantage of your customers
Todd,
Certainly one of my favorite bourbons. The trick to NOT paying too much for it is to find it in certain states that it is somewhat more available (albeit usually in less metro areas) and sells for close to normal retail cost.
Osvaldo,
Great at msrp not wroth the 120
Ben,
One of my favorite bottles when purchased for the right price. Anything over $40 is pure robbery.
Joshua,
As stated, excellent for the normal price point. Super smooth nose and flavor with just enough complexity.
