Wheat, not rye, is the small grain in Weller Single Barrel, a straight bourbon selected one barrel at a time from Buffalo Trace’s celebrated wheated stock and bottled at 97 proof. That wheat gives a softer, rounder profile than a traditional high-rye bourbon: cherry and mint edging into vanilla on the nose, then caramel, baking spice, and a flash of cocoa across the palate. The finish brings cinnamon, coffee, and a touch of pepper. As a single-barrel release from one of the most sought-after wheated lines in Kentucky, availability is tight and bottles move fast at shelf. Drink it neat to read the barrel, or over one large cube on a warm evening.
