Weller 12 is one of the most hyped bourbons on the planet — but is it truly worth the chase… or just a “Poor Man’s Pappy” myth?
In this episode, we crack open this ultra-allocated wheated bourbon from Buffalo Trace to find out if the flavor matches the frenzy. Aged 12 years and retailing at just $45 — if you can find it — Weller 12 now fetches $200+ on the secondary market.
We explore the nose, palate, and finish of this elusive bottle, compare it to the Pappy experience, and debate if the hype holds up.
👃 Vanilla, cherry, and buttery pie crust
🥃 Creamy caramel, baked apple, and toasted oak
🔥 Better neat… or with a splash of water?
Let’s find out if Weller 12 is truly a bourbon you need on your shelf.
