W.L. Weller 12 Year Bourbon is a highly coveted wheated bourbon known for its exceptional smoothness, deep flavor, and impressive age statement. Often referred to as the Poor Mans Pappy due to its shared mash bill and aging process with the famed Pappy Van Winkle line, Weller 12 Year delivers remarkable complexity and elegance at a fraction of the costwhen you can find it.

Product Description

Weller 12 Year is crafted with a wheated mash bill, meaning wheat is used instead of rye as the secondary grain. This results in a softer, smoother profile that intensifies beautifully over its extended 12-year aging period in new, charred American oak barrels.

It pours a rich amber color, offering a nose filled with aromas of dark cherry, vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spices. The palate is velvety and full-bodied, featuring harmonious layers of caramel, leather, dried fruit, and cinnamon, rounded out by subtle floral undertones. The finish is long, warm, and remarkably balanced, leaving impressions of oak, chocolate, and gentle spice.

Tasting Profile

Why It Stands Out

• Aged a full 12 years, rare for a wheated bourbon

• Shares lineage with ultra-premium Pappy Van Winkle bourbons

• Exceptionally smooth with deep, mature flavor layers

• Highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs

Weller 12 Year is a masterclass in mellow strength and aged complexity. Whether sipped neat or as a centerpiece of a bourbon collection, it delivers refined depth that few wheated bourbons can.
