This bundle pairs W.L. Weller 12 Year and W.L. Weller CYPB (Craft Your Perfect Bourbon) — the Double Gold-winning age-stated expression and the consumer-collaboration limited expression from the same wheated Buffalo Trace mashbill at two different proof levels.
Both use the same wheated bourbon recipe that William Larue Weller pioneered. Weller 12 Year is the most widely sought standard Weller expression — 90 proof, a 12-year age statement, Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2019. Weller CYPB was developed through consumer input on aging warehouse, barrel entry proof, and blending — a 95.4-proof expression shaped by collective preferences rather than standard distillery decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Weller CYPB?
Craft Your Perfect Bourbon — a Weller expression developed through consumer input where whiskey enthusiasts voted on aging warehouse location, barrel entry proof, and blending decisions. The 95.4-proof result is a unique expression of the wheated Buffalo Trace mashbill shaped by collective consumer preferences rather than standard distillery production decisions. More limited than the core Weller expressions.
How do Weller 12 Year and CYPB compare?
Both use the same wheated mashbill. Weller 12 Year is 90 proof with a 12-year age statement — the most celebrated and sought-after standard Weller expression. CYPB is 95.4 proof with no age statement — a higher-proof, consumer-shaped expression of the same recipe. The CYPB tends to be harder to find given its limited production and novelty.
