Behind the Bar: Weller Bourbons and Weller Oak And Vine Private Barrel Bourbon

In the world of American whiskey, few names command the immediate attention and pursuit of collectors quite like Weller. Known for its wheated mash bill—the exact same recipe utilized for the legendary Pappy Van Winkle lineage—Weller delivers an exceptionally smooth, rich, and sweet profile that has made it one of the most aggressively hunted spirits in the country.

At Oak And Vine, we don't just carry the standard releases. We secure the rare allocations that make a visit to Glendale a necessity for serious bourbon enthusiasts.

The Crown Jewel: Weller Full Proof 2022 (O&V Private Barrel)

The centerpiece of our wheated bourbon collection is our exclusive Weller Full Proof 2022 (O&V) Private Barrel.

  • The Profile: Bottled at 114 proof—the exact proof the spirit enters the barrel—this expression bypasses chill filtration to preserve all the naturally occurring oils and robust flavor compounds that are often lost in standard bottling processes.

  • The Tasting Notes: Because this is a private single barrel selected specifically for Oak And Vine, it offers a distinct, unrepeatable experience. Expect massive waves of toasted caramel, dark cherry, and rich vanilla, balanced by a warm, lingering oak finish that completely belies its high proof. It is bold, incredibly viscous, and dangerously smooth.

The Allocated Lineup

Beyond our private barrel, our back bar features a curated selection of the highly allocated Weller lineup. Whether you are seeking the vibrant, cinnamon-forward punch of Weller Antique 107 or the balanced, approachable sweetness of Weller Special Reserve, our collection provides the perfect opportunity to explore how this iconic wheated mash bill evolves across different proofs and expressions.

The Pairing

A bourbon with the high-proof intensity and rich viscosity of the Weller Full Proof demands a savory counterpart. Pair this exclusive pour with our artisanal cheese board or a house-made flatbread. The rich, salty fats of the cheese brilliantly cut through the dark fruit and caramel sweetness of the bourbon, allowing the nuanced baking spices to shine through on the finish.
