The non-chill filtered process preserves natural oils that create a fuller mouthfeel with honey, caramel, and wheat cereal notes. At 114 proof, it offers warming intensity without harsh bite thanks to wheat replacing rye in the mash bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Weller Full Proof good for cocktails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this 114-proof bourbon can certainly stand up in cocktails, its full-proof intensity and premium price point make it better suited for neat sipping or perhaps a simple whiskey and water. The non-chill filtered oils and complex vanilla-oak profile are best appreciated when consumed neat or with just a splash of water to open up the flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink Weller The Original Wheated Bourbon Full Proof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bourbon is best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass to appreciate its full complexity and rich mouthfeel. If you find the 114 proof too intense, add a few drops of water to open up the flavors and reduce the alcohol heat. The non-chill filtered nature means it may appear slightly cloudy when cold, which is completely normal and indicates the preservation of natural flavor oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes wheated bourbon different from regular bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheated bourbon uses wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain in the mash bill, creating a softer, sweeter profile with less spice. William Larue Weller pioneered this style, and it typically produces bourbons with more vanilla, caramel, and honey notes compared to the spicier, more peppery character of rye-forward bourbons. This makes wheated bourbons generally more approachable while maintaining complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Weller The Original Wheated Bourbon Full Proof worth the price?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wheated bourbon enthusiasts and those seeking full-proof intensity, this expression offers excellent value considering its Buffalo Trace Distillery pedigree and non-chill filtered quality. The 114-proof bottling strength and historical significance of the Weller name justify the premium, especially for collectors of wheated bourbons or those who appreciate the robust, unfiltered character that preserves natural flavor oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43369564602442,"sku":"WTOWBFPKW","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/6095\/7258\/files\/front_41e503b2-ef0c-4f64-9f4a-883b375a22cd.jpg?v=1772816665"}],"url":"https:\/\/theoldrickhouse.com\/collections\/weller.oembed","provider":"The Old Rickhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
