WL Weller Bourbon

W.L. Weller is a highly regarded wheated bourbon, meaning it replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat, resulting in a softer, smoother taste. Often compared to Pappy Van Winkle, this bourbon is aged and crafted with the same attention to quality, but at a more accessible price point.
