This is the 2018 release of William Larue Weller bottled at 125.7 proof, part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, a highly sought after and much prized range of expressions released annually from the Buffalo Trace Distillery. William Larue Weller is bottled straight out of the barrel without the addition of water and without filtering. The expression is named in honour of one of bourbon's early pioneers, noted for developing wheated bourbon, and as such this expression has a significant contribution from wheat in the mash bill. On the nose, you get very mature, rich and exotic aromas. To taste it has a full, evolving and sophisticated flavour, with notes of vanilla, teaberry and cinnamon. This whiskey is released only in highly limited quantities each year and is invariably in high demand. |
