Day 1

Weller 12 Year

Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon (the Original Wheated Bourbon)

Mashbill: Undisclosed Wheated Mashbill of 51+% Corn, Wheat, and Malted Barley

Aged: 12 Years

Proof: 90

MRSP: Never seen one to know. Rumor is it's around $42.99. Paid $75.

Why I chose it: I love starting the calendar with a baseline Kentucky Bourbon. This is unique given the secondary Wheat grain instead of Rye, but let's go! Whether you enjoy a pour regularly or are just getting into whiskey it's good to have a baseline pour. This is representative of a quality Kentucky bourbon. It's approachable at 90 proof. Well aged at 12 years. Smooth. From here we can change the proof, age, or mashbill and you have a starting frame of reference. Cheers to the 2024 calendar!!!
