Buffalo Trace Unveils Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat Bourbon
Buffalo Trace expands its experimental series with the new Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat Bourbon, a tribute to the Weller legacy.
This spring, Buffalo Trace Distillery unveiled the latest addition to its Daniel Weller series: the Spelt Wheat Bourbon. This innovative release is a nod to the storied history of the Weller family in bourbon making, dating back to the establishment of the family’s involvement in the whiskey trade in the 19th century.
Daniel Weller, the grandfather of the renowned William Larue Weller, brought a unique perspective to bourbon, emphasizing quality and craftsmanship. The Spelt Wheat Bourbon is a reflection of that heritage, showcasing the use of spelt wheat in its mashbill, which is rare in bourbon production. This grain contributes unique flavors and a distinct profile that separates it from other bourbons on the market.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the release of the Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat Bourbon presents a rare opportunity to taste a piece of bourbon history while also enjoying a new interpretation of family tradition. The use of non-traditional grains like spelt not only expands the flavor landscape but also invites drinkers to explore bourbon’s versatility.
