The distilling tradition of the Weller family harkens back to the earliest pioneering days. Weller & Sons was famous for being the first distiller to produce Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey using "wheat" instead of "ye" in the mash bill. William Larue Weller, the most distinguished distiller of his time, spent many years educating consumers about the different styles of bourbon, and in particular the special flavors that using wheat imparted.<br><br> In addition, the Wellers believed in the importance of aging whiskey and to this day the firm of W.L. Weller and Sons sells no whiskey that is younger than seven years old.<br><br> The combination of exceptional and complex aging and the use of wheat in the mash bill produces a whiskey with a very mature, rich and exotic aroma. Its flavor has been described as full, evolving and sophisticated, with notes of vanilla, teaberry, cinnamon and freshly ground pepper.<br><br> Over the years, the firm of W.L. Weller and Sons has won many awards for distilling outstanding Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.<br><br> This 19 year old "Wheated" Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the finest whiskey W.L. Weller and Sons has ever made.
