What proof is W.L. Weller 12 Year?
The standard W.L. Weller 12 Year bottling is 90 proof, or 45% alcohol by volume. Its wheated mash bill omits rye as the flavoring grain, which contributes to its softer profile.

Buffalo Trace describes aromas including almond, corn, and toasted vanilla, followed by a sweet, heavily wheated palate. The finish is long and oaky rather than dominated by the high spice associated with many rye-forward bourbons.
How is Weller 12 different from Weller Full Proof?
Weller 12 is a 90-proof, age-stated bourbon, while Weller Full Proof is bottled at 114 proof. Both are wheated bourbons from Buffalo Trace, but the Full Proof expression is substantially stronger and more concentrated in flavor.
