The Story
This set pairs W.L. Weller Special Reserve with a Glencairn whisky glass set — the original wheated bourbon alongside the industry-standard tasting glass for appreciating the full soft, sweet character at 90 proof.
Weller Special Reserve is the entry expression of the allocated Weller lineup — the same wheated mashbill used in Weller 12 Year, Weller Antique 107, and the Pappy Van Winkle family, at 90 proof with no age statement. The wheated character — caramel, honey, and butterscotch without rye spice — is the defining feature of the Buffalo Trace wheated program.
What's Included
One 750ml bottle of W.L. Weller Special Reserve (90 proof), one Glencairn whisky glass set (set of 2).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a Glencairn glass for Weller Special Reserve?
The Glencairn's tapered mouth concentrates the honeyed, caramel nose of Weller Special Reserve — a wheated bourbon where the softer, more delicate aromas benefit from being focused before the first sip. At 90 proof the aromatics are accessible but benefit from proper glassware to show the full honey and vanilla character.
