William Larue Weller is made from Buffalo Trace's wheated mash bill, where wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain alongside corn and malted barley. The 2019 release was distilled in the winter of 2007 and aged about 12 years in a single warehouse, Warehouse I, before bottling uncut and unfiltered at 128 proof. The wheated recipe is the same one behind the Weller and Pappy Van Winkle lines.
