"W.L. Weller takes a different approach. It produces wheated bourbon, or bourbon that contains a high percentage of wheat instead of rye in its mash bill."
"In 2023, Buffalo Trace Distilleries launched Daniel Weller, an experimental bourbon brand in honor of William Larue Weller's grandfather. The 12-year wheated bourbon release included the ancient emmer wheat in the mash bill."
"In March 2026, Buffalo Trace Distilleries announced a new, pricey, limited-release selection under the brand, Buffalo Trace Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat bourbon."
"To see if the new $550 whiskey is worth the investment, we did a taste test."
W.L. Weller, part of Buffalo Trace Distilleries, produces wheated bourbon with a high percentage of wheat instead of rye. This approach, initiated by William Larue Weller, results in a distinct flavor. In 2023, Buffalo Trace launched Daniel Weller, an experimental bourbon featuring ancient emmer wheat. A new limited-release, Buffalo Trace Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat bourbon, was announced for March 2026, incorporating spelt, an ancient grain. A taste test was conducted to evaluate the new whiskey's worthiness as a high-priced investment.
