W.L. Weller 12 Year Bourbon (750Ml)

Description

Considered as the original wheated bourbon, W.L. Weller is a bottle with a name that is as big as its fanbase. The 12 Year is the flagship aged expression in the Weller family. It is bottled at 90 proof and is aged far longer than most wheated bourbons, which gives it its signature deep bronze color.

Honey, butterscotch, and a soft woodiness are the tasting notes you can expect from W.L. Weller 12 Year Bourbon. On the nose, you get a presence of caramel. The finish is smooth with a hint of sweet honeysuckle. Overall, it is smooth and gentle.

Many would be content to simply serve W.L. Weller 12 Year Bourbon neat, sometimes with a few drops of water or maybe a large ice cube to open up the flavors without too much dilution. However, this performs well in spirit‑forward cocktails. 

W.L. Weller 12 Year Bourbon has a long list of awards. The earliest dates back to 20212, where it received Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. That same year, Ultimate Spirits Challenge called it extraordinary, giving it its ultimate recommendation (95-100 pts). Almost every year, it racked up awards, one after the other. Its most recent would be Silver at the 2025 International Wine & Spirits Competition. 

The W.L. Weller 12 Year Bourbon is perfect for seasoned bourbon enthusiasts and collectors. It’s also a fantastic pick for folks looking to level up their home bars and elevating their bourbon knowledge.
