Flavor Profile Differences
These two land very differently on the palate for heat.
- W.L. Weller Full Proof: Weller's wheated bourbon bottled at its barrel-entry proof of 114, without chill filtering. Coffee cake, caramel and cinnamon with a bold, warming body.
- Yellowstone Select: A revived historic brand from Limestone Branch. Light and creamy, with toasted oak, vanilla and peach and a short, peppery finish. Part of the proceeds support Yellowstone National Park.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with W.L. Weller Full Proof if you want a bold, sweet wheater bottled at barrel-entry proof.
- Go with Yellowstone Select if you want a light, creamy everyday sipper with a historic name at a significantly lower price point and without hunting for it.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks, old-fashioned (W.L. Weller Full Proof); rocks, highball, old-fashioned (Yellowstone Select).
