Launched in 2023, Daniel Weller, an experimental line from Buffalo Trace Distillery, explores wheat strains' impact on bourbons. Honoring forefather Daniel Weller, the inaugural release features rare Emmer wheat aged for nearly 12 years. Bottled at 94 proof, it offers a fresh, nutty nose, a well-rounded palate of bold oak, honey, and orchard fruits, and a complex oak-forward finish with baking spice and leather notes. Daniel Weller, a Revolutionary War veteran, inspired this line, with plans for limited releases every two years under Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley's guidance.
