W.L. Weller CYPB is one of the most structurally distinctive bottlings in the Buffalo Trace lineup. Standing for "Craft Your Perfect Bourbon," this expression was built from specifications crowdsourced through consumer surveys that allowed enthusiasts to choose the ideal age, proof, mashbill, and warehouse characteristics. Launched in 2018, it represents a unique "consumer-vetted" entry in the storied wheated bourbon category.

The Technical Distinction

CYPB is defined by the specific preferences of Buffalo Trace enthusiasts, resulting in a balanced, highly sought-after profile.

  • Enthusiast Specs: Formulated based on preferred age, proof, and barrel placement.
  • Wheated Architecture: Utilizes the same Buffalo Trace wheated mashbill shared by the Weller and Van Winkle lines.
  • Defined Aging: Matured for a minimum of 8 years in upper-floor warehouse positions.
  • The Middle Ground: Bottled at 95 proof, providing more concentration than Special Reserve but more accessibility than Antique 107.
Sensory Profile

Nose: Caramel, vanilla, and integrated wheat sweetness. Soft tobacco, gentle oak, and refined fruit complexity develop with time.

Palate: Medium-to-full bodied with textural depth. A front of caramel and wheat-derived sweetness transitions into mid-palate notes of dark fruit and soft baking spice.

Finish: Long. A signature closing of lingering caramel, soft oak, and characteristic baking-spice-and-wheat notes.

Strategic Positioning

Within the Weller vertical, CYPB sits between Weller Antique 107 and Full Proof. It serves as a structurally novel release, where production specifications are determined by the consumer rather than the Master Distiller.

"A structural masterpiece that embodies the collective ideal of the Buffalo Trace enthusiast."

Collector Note

CYPB is structurally significant as one of the few consumer-spec-driven bourbon releases in modern history. Its annual limited release and high secondary market demand—typically ranging from $300 to $600—make it a cornerstone for serious Weller collectors. Bottles offered here include the intact original packaging.

Recommended Serving

To honor the refined 8-year wheated character, enjoy this bourbon neat or over a single large cube. Its 95 proof concentration performs exceptionally in premium cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan where wheated softness is prized. Pairs peerlessly with grilled meats, caramel desserts, or aged hard cheeses.
