Weller single B
$100.00
Don’t confuse this to mean that Weller barrels are the reject barrels. Plenty of enthusiasts have found the Weller family of products to be just as good and a whole lot easier to find at a local liquor store.
Not all Weller labels are created equal though. There are seven of them and each one carries a different proof and years of age(or assumed age). This results in a broad range of flavors and complexity. Read on to see our take on each one.
Before we begin, it must be noted that I will be comparing the standard batched offering of each, not their single barrel versions.
The Weller brand has seen a lot of changes throughout the years, but since about 2014, it’s really taken off. It’s is a great bourbon, don’t get me wrong, but it owes almost all of its current hype to another bourbon that shares the same recipe: Pappy Van Winkle.
Weller’s Wheated Bourbon Recipe
Both labels start off as the same thing: a barrel of standard Buffalo Trace Wheated Bourbon Mash Bill. Buffalo Trace Distillery does not disclose what that mash bill is, but a good guess would be that it contains 10-14% wheat. The remainder is probably around 75+% corn and 10% malted barley.
Pappy Van Winkle vs WL Weller
As the barrels age, a team of tasters employed by the Van Winkle family sample through the barrels and identify ones that they feel have the potential to wear their name. The rest of the barrels are relegated to the Weller line of bourbon.
