Daniel Weller Emmer Wheat Recipe Kentucky Straight Bourbon

In 1794 Daniel Weller, the grandfather of William Larue Weller, left Maryland and made the long voyage down the Ohio River. Daniel traveled with his wife and children, ultimately settling in Kentucky where he would continue the family tradition of distilling.

Our Emmer Wheat Recipe is inspired by Daniel and his pioneering spirit. Rarely seen in modern day stills, Emmer Wheat is an ancient Egyptian grain that was used in bread and beer.

This bottle is a tribute to Daniel, the trail blazer of the Weller Family.
