Description
Overview
Hailing from the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, Weller CYPB is a wheated bourbon that stands as a testament to the art of crafting perfect whiskey. The “Craft Your Perfect Bourbon” concept came from a consumer survey that asked enthusiasts to choose their ideal flavor profile, age, proof, and mash bill. The result is a beautiful harmony of rich, sweet wheat notes interwoven with classic bourbon character. Bottled at 95 proof, this release embodies the balance that wheated bourbon lovers crave. It’s a highly sought-after addition to any serious collection, admired for both its taste and its story.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Inviting waves of caramel, sweet vanilla, and freshly baked bread intermingle with subtle fruit notes of cherry and apple. Oak spice lingers delicately in the background.
- Palate: A velvet-smooth entry with luscious layers of honey, butterscotch, and cinnamon. The wheated mash bill softens the typical rye spice, giving way to a creamy texture that coats the palate.
- Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying, with lingering notes of toasted oak, dark chocolate, and a gentle nuttiness that leaves you yearning for another sip.
