About Ha William L Weller 2023
W.L. Weller William Larue Weller 2023 is a premium barrel-proof wheated bourbon from Sazerac Company, bottled at a robust 67% ABV (134 proof) in 750ml for $112.50. Named after whiskey pioneer William Larue Weller, who revolutionized bourbon by substituting wheat for rye in the mash bill, it delivers an exceptionally smooth, mellow profile distinct from spicier rye-heavy counterparts. Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this annual special release honors Weller's legacy with uncut, unfiltered intensity, showcasing deep complexity from extended barrel aging. It's special for its rarity, high proof boldness balanced by wheated softness, and status as 'Poor Man's Pappy'—sharing a mash bill with the elusive Pappy Van Winkle at a fraction of the hype price. Ideal for seasoned bourbon enthusiasts seeking a powerful sipper that punches above its accessible price in the super-premium wheated category, outshining standard Weller expressions in depth while competing favorably with other barrel-proof titans like E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof.
