Weller Full Proof stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of wheated bourbon, bottled at the exact barrel entry proof for an unadulterated experience. This expression delivers a powerful yet balanced symphony of deep caramel, rich vanilla, and dried fruit, culminating in an exceptionally long, warming finish.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet of caramelized sugar, crème brûlée, and toasted oak leads the charge, beautifully intertwined with notes of dried cherry, vanilla bean, and a hint of warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A subtle undertone of leather and tobacco leaf rounds out the aromatic profile, hinting at its robust nature.

Palate: The palate immediately confirms the nose's promise of richness, delivering a powerful yet surprisingly smooth entry. Initial flavors of dark caramel and butterscotch develop into a complex tapestry of dried fruit – figs, dates, and dark raisins – alongside significant vanilla and a pronounced oak presence that avoids being overly tannic. A delightful peppery spice builds gently on the mid-palate, complemented by touches of roasted nuts and dark chocolate, showcasing the higher proof without overwhelming the senses.

Finish: A long, warm, and exceptionally satisfying finish. Sweet oak tannins linger, accompanied by notes of sweet tobacco, brown sugar, and a persistent, pleasant heat. The fruit and spice elements slowly fade, leaving a sophisticated and memorable impression of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of dark char. It’s a finish that encourages mindful reflection.
