Sensory Tasting Notes
The Nose
Vanilla wafer and honey lead, with subtle red fruit reminiscent of strawberry, a faint nuttiness, and soft cedar underneath.
The Palate
Smooth and approachable, carrying cherry, mild oak, and grain-forward sweetness; the lower proof and chill filtration keep it gentle enough for easy sipping or mixing.
The Finish
Short-to-medium, closing on light caramel and honey sweetness with minimal oak bite, the softest finish across the entire Weller lineup.
The Heritage
William Larue Weller pioneered wheated bourbon in 1849, and Special Reserve has carried that legacy as Buffalo Trace’s flagship entry expression for decades, once considered a bottom-shelf competitor to Maker’s Mark before wheated bourbon’s current popularity surge. It picked up gold medals at the San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles International Spirits Competitions in 2019, cementing its reputation as serious quality at an entry-level price, and remains the easiest on-ramp for drinkers curious about the wheated style that made the Van Winkle name legendary.
