Launched in 2023, Daniel Weller is a groundbreaking experimental bourbon series from Buffalo Trace Distillery, designed to explore how unique strains of wheat influence the final character of a whiskey. Named in honor of Daniel Weller—the grandfather of William Larue Weller and a pioneering figure in early American distilling—this series blends historical inspiration with modern innovation. Each release highlights a different wheat varietal, reflecting Buffalo Trace’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of traditional bourbon-making.
The inaugural release showcases Emmer wheat, an ancient Egyptian grain seldom used in contemporary distillation. Aged for nearly 12 years and bottled at 94 proof, this expression delivers a distinctive and oak-forward profile with refined complexity. With its rich historical ties and inventive approach, Daniel Weller Emmer Wheat Recipe sets a bold tone for the future of the series.
