Weller Special Reserve is the original wheated bourbon, the expression that first substituted wheat for rye as the secondary grain in a Kentucky straight bourbon mash bill, producing the soft, approachable character that defines the entire Weller and Van Winkle family of bourbons. Widely known among collectors as the \"green label\" Weller for its distinctive packaging, Special Reserve is the entry point of the W.L. Weller lineup, matured roughly seven years at Buffalo Trace's historic Kentucky rickhouses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistillery: Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMash Bill: Wheated (wheat as secondary grain instead of rye)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAging: Approximately 7 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABV: 45% (90 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 1L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose: Sweet caramel with honey and soft vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: Honey, butterscotch, and soft woodiness, with a touch of oak and little to no rye spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Smooth, with a sweet honeysuckle flair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Wine Enthusiast Best Buy, W.L.
