Daniel Weller - Emmer Wheat Recipe Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Emmer Wheat Recipe is the first in a new series from Buffalo Trace that will explore variations in W.L. Weller's famous wheated mash bill with biannual releases. Emmer wheat is an ancient grain, the original cultivated wheat, and this whiskey was distilled in the E.H. Taylor, Jr. Microstill, a combination pot and column still of Wheatley's own design created for experiments, and then aged for around 12 years. It was bottled at 47% ABV.
Daniel Weller was the grandfather of William Larue Weller, a man who came from a distilling background and moved his family to Kentucky in 1794.
Aged for nearly 12 years and bottled at 94 proof, the nose is fresh and nutty, with notes of orange zest, hazelnut, cinnamon and caramel; the palate a well-rounded blend of bold oak, sweet honey and orchard fruits with a complex oak-forward finish complemented by baking spice and leather notes.
