Weller C.Y.P.B. — Craft Your Perfect Bourbon — is the most unique release in the entire Buffalo Trace Weller lineup, and one of the most fascinating origin stories in modern bourbon. In 2015, Buffalo Trace invited over 100,000 whiskey drinkers to help design their ideal bourbon through an online exercise, choosing their preferred mashbill, aging location, proof, and flavor profile. The overwhelming consensus? A wheated bourbon recipe, aged on the top floors of the rickhouse for approximately eight years, and bottled at 95 proof. That's exactly what you're holding. First released in 2018 and now an annual May release, Weller C.Y.P.B. is literally the bourbon the people voted for.
As a wheated bourbon from Buffalo Trace — the same distillery behind Pappy Van Winkle and the Weller 12, Full Proof, and Single Barrel — C.Y.P.B. substitutes wheat for rye in the mashbill, delivering the signature soft, round, sweet profile that makes the Weller lineup so beloved. Aged on the top floors of the rickhouse where heat fluctuations are most extreme, it develops exceptional depth and concentration. Limited, allocated, and one of the hardest bottles in the Weller family to find at retail.

FAQ
What does C.Y.P.B. stand for?
"Craft Your Perfect Bourbon." In 2015, Buffalo Trace asked over 100,000 whiskey drinkers to vote on their ideal bourbon recipe — choosing mashbill, aging location, proof range, and flavor profile. The overwhelming result was a wheated bourbon, top-floor aged for 8 years, bottled at 95 proof. C.Y.P.B. is literally the bourbon that bourbon fans voted for.
How does Weller C.Y.P.B. compare to other Weller expressions?
C.Y.P.B. sits between Weller Special Reserve and Weller 12 in age but is unique in its top-floor warehouse aging and 95 proof bottling. It's generally considered more complex and concentrated than Special Reserve, with exceptional fruit character and length that rivals or exceeds the 12 Year for many palates.
Why is Weller so hard to find?
Weller shares the same wheated mashbill as Pappy Van Winkle and is produced at the most allocated distillery in America — Buffalo Trace. All Weller expressions are highly allocated and C.Y.P.B., as a limited annual release, is among the hardest to find.
When is Weller C.Y.P.B. released?
C.Y.P.B. is released annually each May. Each year's release carries the same spec — wheated, ~8 years, top-floor aged, 95 proof.
