Weller Millennium 750 ML

Product Description

Weller Millennium breaks from standard distillery tradition by blending Kentucky straight wheated bourbon with straight wheat whiskey. It is a multi-vintage marriage composed of specific barrel percentages:

• 50% from the 2003 vintage
• 40% from the 2005 vintage
• 7% from the 2006 vintage
• 3% from the oldest 2000 vintage

Because it incorporates a straight wheat whiskey component (at least 51% wheat in its mashbill), it is technically categorized as a blended straight whiskey rather than a traditional straight bourbon. It is bottled at 99 proof. The presentation features a custom 750 mL crystal decanter nestled inside an illuminated display case that lights up with 99 bursts to match the bottling proof.

Tasting Notes

The inclusion of heavy wheat stocks yields a softer, sweeter profile that favors elegance over intense, fiery heat.

• Nose: Highly complex and deeply layered with aromas of rich caramel, toffee, and vanilla bean. Deeper inhalation reveals old aged oak, sweet honeycomb, cinnamon rolls, and a subtle "dusty" vintage character reminiscent of antique spirits.
• Palate: Velvet-textured and cream-forward. It leads with dark caramel, maple syrup, and vanilla custard. Complex secondary notes emerge mid-palate, highlighting baking spices like nutmeg and allspice alongside hints of sandalwood, leather, and dried fruits like apricot or figs.
• Finish: Exceptionally long, warming, and gentle. The sweet caramel tapers off into a prominent, dry oak influence. It leaves a lingering refinement of tobacco leaf, shoe leather, and soft oak spice.

How to drink Weller Millennium

Serve it neat in a snifter and let it sit a few minutes to open, since a multi-vintage marriage this old has a lot to unpack. Skip ice entirely here; the softer, wheated profile doesn't need cooling and dilution would flatten the layered nose.
