Weller is the big hype, both nationally and in NC where spottings are rare. What does a full Weller Bourbon vertical look like and which ones can you score in North Carolina?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Weller bourbon brand is owned and distilled by Buffalo Trace Distillery. The Weller label gets added to any whiskey that uses Buffalo Trace’s “Original Wheated Bourbon” mash bill. This mash bill is shrouded in secrecy, but the distillery does tell us that they’ve “replaced rye with wheat”, which lends to a very unique flavor profile. These whiskeys still fall under the bourbon categorization, because they are still over 51% corn (and meet all the other criteria).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weller is a hold-over brand, acquired by Buffalo Trace in 2002 from the legacy of Stitzel-Weller. It’s possible that some Weller products used SW distillate during the earlier years. We’ve outlined some of the Stitzel-Weller history in another post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWeller Bourbon Lineup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
