Process & Profile

W.L. Weller 12 Year Bourbon Year of the Horse Limited Edition is the classic 12-year wheated bourbon from the Weller lineup, presented in a special Lunar New Year–inspired collector format. Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this release keeps the same core identity that makes Weller 12 so sought after: extended aging for depth and a wheat-forward recipe that emphasizes a softer, rounder profile than rye-forward bourbons.

What makes this edition distinct is the limited Year of the Horse presentation, typically featuring a black-and-gold commemorative design intended for seasonal gifting and collectors. This edition is commonly offered in a 750ml format, which stands out from standard U.S. sizing and adds to the “special release” feel.
