{"product_id":"weller-original-wheated-bourbon-full-proof-kentucky-whiskey","title":"Weller Original Wheated Bourbon Full Proof Kentucky Whiskey","description":"Weller The Original Wheated Bourbon Full Proof is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey bottled at 114 proof from Buffalo Trace Distillery, using William Larue Weller's legendary wheat-forward mash bill instead of traditional rye for a distinctively smooth and rich profile.\n\nThis expression honors the legacy of William Larue Weller, the pioneer who revolutionized bourbon making by substituting wheat for rye in his mash bill. Buffalo Trace Distillery continues this tradition, entering this wheated bourbon into charred new American oak barrels at the same 114 proof at which it's bottled. The non-chill filtration process preserves all the naturally occurring oils and flavors from distillation and aging, creating a fuller-bodied whiskey that may appear cloudy at cold temperatures.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich vanilla, toasted oak, honey wheat bread, caramel sweetness, warm baking spices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied vanilla custard, charred oak, wheat grain sweetness, dark chocolate, peppery spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long with lingering oak tannins, vanilla bean, wheat warmth, gentle heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57.0% (114 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo Age Statement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheated (wheat instead of rye)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharred new American oak barrels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full proof intensity showcases the wheated bourbon character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium cocktails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds depth to Old Fashioneds and Manhattans with its robust profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey collectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Represents the authentic Weller wheated bourbon legacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBourbon education:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect example of how wheat creates a different bourbon experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Weller Original Wheated Bourbon Full Proof taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeller Original Full Proof delivers a rich, full-bodied bourbon experience with prominent vanilla and oak flavors balanced by the signature smoothness that wheat brings instead of rye. The 114 proof provides intensity while the wheated mash bill keeps it approachable, with notes of vanilla custard, toasted oak, and warm baking spices throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Weller Original Full Proof good for cocktails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely – the 114 proof makes this an excellent cocktail bourbon that won't get lost when mixed. It's particularly outstanding in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, where its wheated character adds complexity and the higher proof ensures the bourbon flavors shine through ice and mixers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink Weller Original Wheated Bourbon Full Proof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bourbon is versatile enough to enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. At 114 proof, many drinkers appreciate it with a splash of water or over ice to open up the flavors. The non-chill filtration means it may appear cloudy when cold, which is completely normal and preserves maximum flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes wheated bourbon different from regular bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheated bourbon uses wheat instead of rye as the flavoring grain, creating a softer, smoother profile with more vanilla and caramel notes. While rye adds spice and bite, wheat contributes a creamy, almost bread-like sweetness that makes the bourbon more mellow and approachable, even at higher proofs like this 114-proof expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Weller Original Full Proof worth the price?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bourbon enthusiasts seeking an authentic wheated bourbon experience at full proof, this represents excellent value. It delivers the legendary W.L. Weller character that inspired premium expressions, bottled at barrel entry proof with no chill filtration. The quality and heritage make it a solid investment for both drinking and collecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130822758455,"sku":"WOWBFPKW","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/8843\/0135\/files\/front_b34956dc-1857-4707-a157-39f9bffb0ea1.jpg?v=1772816629","url":"https:\/\/dramstreet.com\/products\/weller-original-wheated-bourbon-full-proof-kentucky-whiskey","provider":"Dram Street","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
