Description
The Daniel Weller 1794 Spelt Wheat Recipe Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a remarkable limited-edition release from Buffalo Trace Distillery that continues the experimental Daniel Weller series, exploring how ancient wheat varietals influence the character of wheated bourbon. Crafted with rare spelt wheat in place of traditional rye, this expression pays tribute to Daniel Weller, the pioneering ancestor of bourbon legend William Larue Weller. Aged for 10 years and bottled at 94 proof, it offers a distinctive interpretation of Kentucky bourbon that is both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition.
On the nose, rich aromas of freshly baked biscuits, toasted nuts, butterscotch, vanilla, and caramel emerge alongside layers of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and delicate orchard fruit. The influence of the spelt wheat creates a unique nutty sweetness that sets this bourbon apart from traditional wheated expressions.
The palate is elegant and complex, revealing notes of dried fruit, honeyed sweetness, baking spices, vanilla cream, toasted oak, and subtle floral tea-like undertones. The mouthfeel is silky and refined, delivering remarkable balance while allowing the distinctive grain character to shine through.
The finish is long, smooth, and memorable, lingering with soft fruit, warm spice, gentle nuttiness, and a fading sweetness that showcases the depth achieved through a decade of maturation.
A rare collector’s bourbon and an exciting exploration of heirloom grains, Daniel Weller 1794 Spelt Wheat Recipe represents the cutting edge of American whiskey innovation while honoring the legacy of one of bourbon’s most influential families. Available in extremely limited quantities, it stands as one of the most sought-after releases in the modern Weller portfolio.
