The Story
This set pairs W.L. Weller 12 Year with a Glencairn whisky glass set — the only age-stated expression in the standard Weller lineup alongside the glass that reveals the full 12-year wheated character at 90 proof.
Weller 12 Year earned a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2019 — the most prestigious blind tasting in American whiskey. The 12-year age statement is what separates it from Weller Special Reserve and OWA: greater oak integration, darker dried fruit, and a more complex, layered finish that the extra time in barrel produces. The Glencairn focuses the creamy vanilla and caramel nose so the aged character comes through before the first sip.
What's Included
One 750ml bottle of W.L. Weller 12 Year Bourbon (90 proof / 45% ABV, Double Gold SFWSC 2019), one Glencairn whisky glass set (set of 2).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Weller 12 Year considered the best standard Weller expression?
The 12-year age statement produces greater oak integration and complexity than the no-age-statement Weller expressions, while the 90 proof keeps the wheated character accessible and well-balanced. The Double Gold at the 2019 SFWSC confirmed what collectors already knew — it's among the best-value aged bourbons produced in America, if you can find it at primary retail.
