🥃 Style & Specs

• Wheated bourbon using the same mash bill as Pappy Van Winkle and Weller 12 Year.

• Bottled at 114 proof (57% ABV), non-chill filtered to preserve maximum flavor and mouthfeel.

• No official age statement, but typically believed to be around 6 to 8 years.

👃 Nose

Opens with a rush of vanilla fudge, brown sugar, and dark cherry, followed by notes of roasted nuts, cinnamon bark, and caramel-soaked oak. There's a subtle undercurrent of leather and tobacco, giving it a rugged, mature aroma.

👅 Palate

Full-bodied and intense. Waves of molasses, toffee, toasted coconut, and dark fruit coat the palate, anchored by spice-laced oak and a hearty wheat sweetness. Despite the high proof, it remains surprisingly smooth—though bold in every sip.

🔁 Finish

Long and warming, with lingering notes of charred oak, vanilla bean, nutmeg, and a touch of dark chocolate. The heat is present but balanced, making the finish both powerful and polished.

🌟 Why It’s Special

• Cask strength character in a wheated bourbon—rare and highly coveted.

• Collector appeal due to the Weller name and shared lineage with Pappy Van Winkle.

• Purist's dream: uncut, unfiltered, and true to the barrel.

🏆 In Summary

Weller Full Proof is a standout for fans of big, bold bourbons who still want the signature softness of wheat. It’s a bottle that rewards slow sipping, thoughtful nosing, and bourbon lovers who appreciate both heat and harmony in their glass.
