W.L. Weller C.Y.P.B. (Craft Your Perfect Bourbon) is a limited, allocation-only wheated bourbon from Buffalo Trace — and the result of an open experiment where the distillery asked bourbon fans to design their ideal expression. Thousands of votes later, the community settled on an 8-year-old, 95-proof wheated bourbon built from Weller's celebrated wheat recipe. The result is one of the most sought-after bottles in Buffalo Trace's Weller range.
Wheated bourbons replace the traditional rye secondary grain with wheat, giving a softer, rounder, less peppery profile than rye-mash bourbons. C.Y.P.B. delivers exactly that: a nose of honeyed vanilla, baked bread, and soft stone fruit; a palate of caramel, brown sugar, golden raisin, and a gentle oak-spice lift; and a long, smooth finish that carries the wheat's signature roundness without losing structural grip. Bottled at 95 proof, it holds up over a cube and elevates a classic Old Fashioned with a deeper sweetness than standard bourbons.
Weller's wheat-mash recipe shares DNA with Pappy Van Winkle, which is why the range has become one of the most chased in bourbon. C.Y.P.B. is limited and collector-friendly — released annually in small quantities. Pair with our Weller Special Reserve, Weller 12 Year, and Buffalo Trace for a full range tasting. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a wheated straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace with an unusual origin story. The distillery invited bourbon fans to vote on their ideal expression, and the community chose an 8-year-old, 95-proof bourbon built on Weller's wheat recipe. Swapping rye for wheat as the secondary grain gives a softer, rounder, less peppery profile, and C.Y.P.B. leans into it. Expect honeyed vanilla, baked bread and soft stone fruit on the nose, then caramel, brown sugar, golden raisin and a gentle lift of oak spice on the palate. The finish is long and smooth but keeps its structure. It suits the collector following the Weller range, and it also rewards the drinker who simply wants to taste what wheat does to bourbon. The proof gives it enough backbone for a large cube or an Old Fashioned without flattening its sweetness. We carry it because it is a limited, annually released bottle whose character matches its reputation. It also anchors a rewarding side-by-side tasting with other Weller expressions.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — The bitterness of dark chocolate sets off the bourbon's rich caramel and brown sugar sweetness.
- An evening cigar — A cigar's earthy depth complements the gentle oak spice and the long, lingering finish.
- Weller range tasting night — Pouring it alongside Weller Special Reserve, Weller 12 Year and Buffalo Trace shows off the soft, round character of the wheat recipe.
