About this bottle ↓
William Larue Weller developed his original bourbon recipe with wheat, rather than rye. Bottled at the same 114 proof the spirit was when it entered into the barrel, this non-chill filtered wheated bourbon forgoes chill filtration to preserve all the naturally occurring residual oils and flavors that occur during the distillation and aging process (potentially making it appear cloudy at cold temperatures). This bourbon balances a rich mouth feel, with robust notes of vanilla and oak. A whiskey that satisfies the demand of the non-chill filtered whiskey enthusiasts, honoring the man who made wheated bourbon legendary.
Weller Full Proof Straight Bourbon — Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'full proof' actually mean here?
It means the whiskey is bottled at 114 proof — the same strength it was when it originally went into the barrel. New-make spirit is always proofed down with water before filling, and Weller’s barrel entry proof is 114. This bottling is proofed back down to that exact number after ageing, so it reaches you at the strength it entered the wood. It is a small, elegant piece of production design; our guide to what water actually does to bourbon explains why barrel entry proof matters more than almost any other water decision in bourbon.
Is it the same as barrel proof?
No, and the distinction is worth getting right. A barrel proof bourbon such as Booker's 2025-01 'Barry's Batch' Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey ($109.99) is bottled at whatever strength the barrels came out at, which is usually well above what went in because of evaporation. Full proof is dialled back to the entry number. Both are non-chill-filtered and both skip the usual heavy dilution — see our barrel proof guide for the wider category.
Is it chill filtered?
No. Weller Full Proof is non-chill-filtered, which preserves the oilier texture and fuller aroma that filtration strips out. If it clouds slightly when you add water or ice, that is the fatty acids and esters coming out of solution — a sign of what is still in the bottle, not a fault.
What does a wheated mash bill do at 114 proof?
Wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain, which removes the peppery spice and leaves a rounder, softer, sweeter profile — bread, honey, vanilla and soft red fruit. At 114 proof those soft notes arrive with real weight behind them, which is the whole appeal: the texture of a wheated bourbon with the concentration of a high-proof one. Our wheated bourbon guide covers the style, and Weller Antique 107 Wheated Bourbon Whiskey ($134.99) is the closest comparison in the range.
How should I drink it?
Neat first, to get a baseline, then add two or three drops of water and wait thirty seconds. At 114 proof the aroma compounds are largely locked in the alcohol; a small amount of water reorganises the solution and pushes them into the air above the glass. Add drops, not splashes — you cannot undo it. A large single ice cube is a legitimate alternative on a warm evening, but it mutes aroma rather than opening it.
Who makes Weller, and is it related to Pappy Van Winkle?
Buffalo Trace, in Frankfort, Kentucky — the same distillery behind Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey ($78.99). Weller and Pappy Van Winkle share a wheated mash bill and the same production site, which is the origin of the long-running "poor man’s Pappy" shorthand. They are not the same whiskey and the age profiles differ, but the family resemblance is real. Browse the range in our Bourbon collection or see what is moving in our best sellers.
