“12-year wheated Weller at 90 proof — age-stated Buffalo Trace allocation icon”
Tasting notes
- nose
- dry oak, caramel, and a light nutty note — older Weller perfume with quiet depth
- palate
- soft vanilla, toasted oak, and gentle spice over richer structure than Special Reserve despite sharing 90 proof; twelve years add leather-tinged caramel weight
- finish
- long and steady — calm sweetness into dry woody character

Buffalo Trace wheated mash bill (exact percentages unpublished) — same Weller wheat-for-rye thesis, given twelve years of oak for deeper caramel, nut, and dry wood.
