Buffalo Trace Unveils Latest Daniel Weller Bourbon
Frankfort’s Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced the release of Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat, the second installment of its Daniel Weller experimental series.
“Rather than leaning on barrel innovation, we chose to strip the process back and let the wheat speak for itself,” says Harlen Wheatley, Master Distiller at Buffalo Trace Distillery. “By avoiding specialized barrel treatments and techniques, we were able to focus on how spelt wheat’s natural sweetness and distinct character influence the Weller mash bill. Its nuanced profile makes it ideal for experiments where the grain’s personality is meant to shine.”
Bottled at 94 proof, Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat will be available in limited quantities to distributors, shipping to select retailers, bars and restaurants across the U.S. starting March 2026 at a suggested retail price of $549.99 (750ml); state taxes vary.
