Steeped in history, this rare wheated bourbon is a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Weller family. Tracing its roots back to the 1740s, the Weller family has been pivotal in shaping the bourbon industry. William Larue Weller, after serving in the Mexican-American War, returned to Kentucky to join the family business. His innovative approach led to the creation of the first bourbon using wheat as a secondary grain instead of rye in 1849. This innovation has influenced many renowned wheated bourbons like Pappy Van Winkle and Larceny Bourbon.

Buffalo Trace has carried forward this tradition since acquiring the W.L. Weller brand in 1999, maintaining nearly the same recipe that has become a benchmark in the industry. The 2022 William Larue Weller continues this rich heritage, offering a smoother, gentler flavor profile with a slightly sweeter taste, true to its wheated bourbon roots.
