W.L. WELLER MILLENNIUM

 

A true collector’s pour, W.L. Weller Millennium was crafted from a rare blend of vintage wheated bourbons and wheat whiskeys distilled between 2000 and 2006, then patiently reserved for a once-in-a-generation release.

Created by Buffalo Trace Distillery to honor the legacy of W.L. Weller, this extraordinary expression showcases the elegance that wheat brings to bourbon: rich caramel, toffee, dried fruit, and refined oak, all wrapped in remarkable depth and balance. With its rarity, age, and prestige, Weller Millennium is more than a bottle.

It's a piece of bourbon history.
