Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Weller a wheated bourbon?
Most bourbons use rye as the secondary grain, which adds spice and bite. Weller uses soft winter wheat instead — a substitution that produces a noticeably smoother, sweeter, and more approachable bourbon. This wheated mash bill is also shared by the legendary Pappy Van Winkle family of bourbons.
How does Special Reserve compare to other Weller expressions?
Special Reserve is the entry point into the Weller lineup — the most approachable and versatile expression. Weller 12 Year adds age and complexity, while Weller Full Proof and Antique 107 bring higher proof intensity. Special Reserve is the ideal starting point and a fantastic everyday sipper.
How should I serve it?
Excellent neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. Its smooth, sweet character makes it a superb base for an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Mint Julep.
What size bottle is this?
