Buffalo Trace Daniel Weller Bourbon review: A new super-premium diversion from Buffalo Trace's classic wheated bourbon mash bill, with intriguing results. whiskey BuffaloTrace DanielWeller
American whiskey geeks may have noticed a seismic tremor roll through the hype sphere a few weeks back, and wondered at its origin. Suffice to say, it was Buffalo Trace of course, announcing the arrival of a new expansion to the famed Weller line of wheated bourbons. With that said, this isn’t another entry in the growing W.L. Weller family tree, or a sister to the annual, cask strength and highly prized William Larue Weller, which is a member of the company’s Antique Collection.
Daniel Weller is named for the titular Weller family patriarch, who first brought the clan to Kentucky in 1794. There he quickly began whiskey production, like other Wellers before and since. His grandson? That was W.L. Weller, credited as one of the first to sell “wheated” bourbon in Kentucky. As for this new brand, it was apparently ticketed to become a release in the company’sseries, before being spun off into its own new line, in a newly designed bottle.
Now, one naturally has to invite the obvious comparison to the 12 year expression of W.L. Weller, which technically still carries an MSRP of $40–I remember buying a bottle in college for my roommate for even less than this, and thinking that I was splurging. A jump to a $500 MSRP is obviously massive, for a whiskey of similar age and proof. It implies that the difference in wheat species alone is worth such a change, which would probably be a hard thing to argue with such a huge price gap.
On the palate, initial impressions turn toward caramel and sugared espresso roastiness, along with mild fruitiness suggesting apple and pear. I’m getting some ginger ale-like spice, and the twist of orange is still hanging around as well, with an overall profile that moves steadily from the sweeter front end into a bold and oaky back end with moderate tannin and a little leather.
My primary takeaway here is that Daniel Weller has an interesting profile, one that engages me mentally as I think about the influence of an uncommon ingredient laden with history. It’s a bourbon that I think would be quite easy for most drinkers to enjoy, highly accessible if not overflowing with flavor. Personally? I wouldn’t be likely to drop $500 on it, but there’s almost nothing Ispend that much on in the whiskey world, so perhaps that’s not saying much.
