Weller C.Y.P.B. is an 8-year-old wheated bourbon bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV) by Buffalo Trace Distillery under the celebrated Weller lineup. C.Y.P.B. stands for "Craft Your Perfect Bourbon," a nod to the crowdsourced survey Buffalo Trace ran asking whiskey fans to vote on their ideal mash bill, barrel char, warehouse location, age, and proof. The result is a wheated bourbon aged on the top floor of the warehouse for a minimum of eight years, landing in that sweet 90-99 proof range drinkers said they wanted most.
Buffalo Trace Distillery has built its reputation on patience and precision, and the Weller line in particular is beloved for swapping rye for wheat in the mash bill, delivering a softer, rounder character than traditional bourbon. C.Y.P.B. is a limited, highly allocated release that showcases what happens when a legendary distillery lets its fans call the shots — the result is a bourbon built by bourbon lovers, for bourbon lovers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Weller C.Y.P.B. taste like?
Weller C.Y.P.B. delivers classic wheated bourbon sweetness — think caramel, vanilla, and brown sugar — layered with warm cinnamon spice and toasted oak from its eight years of aging. It drinks softer and rounder than a rye-forward bourbon, making it approachable for both new and experienced whiskey drinkers.
Is Weller C.Y.P.B. the same as Weller Special Reserve?
No, Weller C.Y.P.B. is a distinct, limited release with an 8-year age statement and 95 proof, while Weller Special Reserve is a younger, more widely available expression. C.Y.P.B. was crafted based on consumer voting for mash bill, barrel char, warehouse floor, age, and proof, giving it a more refined, deliberately built profile.
Why is Weller C.Y.P.B. so hard to find?
Weller C.Y.P.B. is a limited annual release from Buffalo Trace, and demand for anything wearing the Weller name far outpaces supply. If you find a bottle, it's a great pickup for your collection or as a standout gift for the bourbon lover in your life.
How should I drink Weller C.Y.P.B.?
This bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to let its caramel and oak notes fully open up. It also holds its own in an Old Fashioned for anyone who wants a special-occasion twist on a classic cocktail.
