W.L. Weller C.Y.P.B. Bourbon
Kentucky Straight Bourbon | 95 Proof (47.5% ABV) | 750mL
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.

Great juice, too pricey
I have enjoyed the bourbons I have purchased from your company. I also understand supply and demand, but I must say the cost is simply too high. I look forward to the days when the availability is more common and the price more affordable.
