1. W.L. Weller 12 Year Old Bourbon
Like all things, unfortunately, our list must come to an end and the W.L. Weller 12-Year-Old is going to be the final entry to our list. If you have done a little research on bourbons, I am sure, you have heard about the ultra-rare Pappy Van Winkle bourbon. If you are lucky enough to even find a bottle of that, it will cost you at least a couple of thousand dollars. What makes Pappy Van Winkle stand out from the bunch, is its rarity and foreboding price but also the fact that it is a wheated mash bourbon. Wheated mash bourbon basically has wheat and corn instead of rye and corn as a base. Wheat makes it an easy drinker and adds a bit of sweetness to it. If you go for W.L. Weller 12 Year Old, you can get pretty close to the taste of Pappy Van Winkle for a fraction of the price. Of course, the wheat makes it a much easier bourbon on the palate.
