The Bourbon 100,239 Drinkers Designed
In November 2015 Buffalo Trace launched the Craft Your Perfect Bourbon website and let drinkers spec their ideal bottle. In just over two years, 100,239 people completed it, and their verdict was decisive: the wheated Weller recipe, aged eight years on the top floor of the warehouse, bottled in the 90–99 proof range. CYPB is that ballot, bottled at 95 proof. Find the rest of the range on the W.L. Weller vendor page, or browse our bourbon whiskey collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: a light aroma with citrus and oak notes; a well-rounded, balanced palate; and a medium-long finish with hints of vanilla.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat and compare it against the wider Weller range — the top-floor ageing and 95 proof were chosen to land between easy-drinking and cask intensity. More Buffalo Trace wheated bourbons are in our bourbon whiskey collection.
