Weller Special Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1.75L\u003c\/strong\u003e is the original wheated bourbon, the expression that first substituted wheat for rye as the secondary grain, producing the soft, approachable character that defines the entire Weller and Pappy Van Winkle family. Known as the \"green label\" Weller, it's bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) in the 1.75L handle format, twice the volume of a standard 750ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Original Wheated Bourbon\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNamed after William Larue Weller, who pioneered the wheat-substituted bourbon recipe in the 19th century, Special Reserve shares the same Buffalo Trace wheated mash bill used across W.L. Weller 12 Year, Antique 107, Full Proof, and William Larue Weller. Replacing rye with wheat produces a rounder, softer, sweeter profile, with an outstanding burnt orange color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe 1.75L Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1.75L, also called a half gallon, is the largest standard format for Weller Special Reserve and the best value for a regular Weller drinker. It's allocated separately from the 750ml and in smaller quantities, which makes it harder to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e honey, light caramel, vanilla, and fresh grain with subtle oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft and smooth, with caramel, butterscotch, and gentle spice, without the rye heat of a standard bourbon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e clean and medium-length, with warm vanilla and light oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproachable enough for everyday sipping neat or on the rocks, and a smooth, easy base for classic bourbon cocktails.
