Process & Profile
W.L. Weller C.Y.P.B. (Craft Your Perfect Bourbon) is a limited-release wheated bourbon created through a consumer-driven voting campaign hosted by Buffalo Trace. Fans selected the wheated mash bill, an 8-year aging period, top-floor warehouse placement, and a 95 proof bottling. The result is a smooth, fruit-forward whiskey with a unique balance of sweetness, oak, and complexity—true to the Weller legacy.
Aged in new, charred American oak barrels on the warmest warehouse floors, this bourbon showcases the flavor depth associated with extended aging and wheated structure.
