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. For the 2025 release, after extended aging, it is bottled uncut and unfiltered at 129 proof. The wheated recipe is the same one behind the Weller and Pappy Van Winkle lines.

Every bottle sold through Midnight Whiskey is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships. Orders are packed with padded, glass-rated handling and require an adult signature (21+) on delivery; we do not ship to anyone unable to verify legal drinking age.
