Daniel Weller 1794 Emmer Wheat Recipe Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Introduced to the world in 2023, the Daniel Weller brand represents a captivating journey into the realm of experimental whiskey-making. This innovative line seeks to uncover the fascinating influence of various wheat strains on its acclaimed bourbons. It draws inspiration from none other than the trailblazing Daniel Weller, a revered figure within the Weller family's rich whiskey heritage. Buffalo Trace Distillery proudly presents this extension of their renowned wheated bourbon brand, showcasing their unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of whiskey craftsmanship. Daniel Weller, the namesake of this extraordinary venture, is a testament to Buffalo Trace Distillery's dedication to innovation, all while paying homage to a pioneer of American whiskey. Daniel Weller, the grandfather of William Larue Weller, left an indelible mark on the world of distillation, passing down the art and science of whiskey-making to subsequent generations of trailblazers. The inaugural release from the Daniel Weller line features Emmer wheat, a virtually extinct grain that once thrived in ancient Egypt but is seldom found in contemporary stills. Aged patiently for nearly 12 years and bottled at a hearty 94 proof, this whiskey offers an aromatic journey with a fresh, nutty nose reminiscent of orange zest, hazelnut, cinnamon, and caramel. On the palate, it presents a harmonious fusion of robust oak, sweet honey, and orchard fruits, leading to a captivating, oak-forward finish enriched with the nuanced interplay of baking spices and leather notes.
