Buffalo Trace Unveils 10-Year Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat Second Edition

Buffalo Trace Unveils Second Edition of the Experimental Daniel Weller Series

Buffalo Trace 10 Years Old Experimental Daniel Weller Series Second Edition 75 cl continues Buffalo Trace Distillery’s exploration into the influence of wheat varieties on whisky flavor. Following the 2023 debut featuring Emmer Wheat, this second edition spotlights Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat, a rarely used grain known for subtle sweetness and mild nuttiness. Its inclusion marks a fresh chapter in experimental single malt production.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

This expression was matured for 10 years and bottled at 47% ABV without barrel innovation or specialized treatments to highlight the natural character of spelt wheat. The focus on purity allows the grain’s nuanced sweetness and distinct profile to shape the whisky’s identity.

Master Distiller's Statement

Harlen Wheatley, Buffalo Trace’s Master Distiller, explained:
“Rather than leaning on barrel innovation, we chose to strip the process back and let the wheat speak for itself. 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 mashbill.”

Buffalo Trace 10 Years Old Experimental Daniel Weller Series Second Edition 75 cl is offered at a suggested retail price of $549.99. It is available in limited quantities starting this month through Spiritory, presenting a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to experience this refined and experimental single malt whisky.
