A bold, richly textured wheated bourbon selected specifically for Blackwell’s, W.L. Weller “Blackwell’s Pick” Full Proof presents a rare marriage of power and nuance. Full-bodied and deeply expressive, this whiskey layers lush caramel, ripe orchard fruit, and warm spice with the gentle sweetness and soft grain character that define wheated bourbons, yielding a memorable and elevated sipping experience.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Hailing from the historic Stitzel-Weller tradition, W.L. Weller is synonymous with wheated bourbon—where wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain, softening spice and allowing sweet vanilla and fruit elements to shine. For this Full Proof bottling, barrels were specially selected to showcase depth, balance, and intensity at cask-strength without water reduction, resulting in a whiskey that retains robust presence while staying harmonious.
The “Blackwell’s Pick” designation reflects a curated barrel selection chosen for distinctive quality, complexity, and character representative of Weller’s wheated lineage. Each component in the blend is chosen to emphasize rich grain notes, layered sweetness, and structural balance that reward slow contemplation or elevated cocktail use.
Tasting Profile
Nose:
Inviting and aromatic, with rich notes of caramel popcorn, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and soft orchard fruit—apple and pear—underscored by hints of brown sugar, baking spice, and a touch of honeyed malt.
Palate:
Full-bodied and robust, revealing deep caramel and toffee flavors, ripe stone fruit, and warm baking spices. Wheat-derived softness lends a rounded, velvety texture, while integrated oak and gentle pepper spice add complexity without overpowering.
Finish:
Long and warming, with lingering caramel, toasted oak, and subtle spice that drive a rich, resonant close.
