Experience the legendary depths of William Larue Weller, an uncut and unfiltered barrel-proof offering that defines the pinnacle of wheated bourbon. This limited-edition masterpiece delivers an unparalleled journey of rich flavors and a remarkably complex finish, embodying pure Kentucky craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A profound and inviting bouquet of caramelized sugar, rich baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove), and toasted oak. Beneath, notes of dried dark fruits like fig and raisin emerge, intertwined with hints of leather, pipe tobacco, and a subtle vanilla bean sweetness.

Palate: A powerful yet surprisingly smooth entry, showcasing a magnificent interplay of sweet and savory. Deep caramel and burnt sugar quickly give way to a wave of rye spiciness, black pepper, and dark chocolate. Viscous and full-bodied, it coats the mouth with flavors of roasted nuts, dried cherries, and a pronounced oak influence that is well-integrated and not overwhelming.

Finish: Long, warm, and exceptionally complex. The heat from the high proof lingers beautifully, evolving into notes of lingering spice, dark fruit, and a pleasant char. A touch of tannic dryness balances the sweetness, leaving behind memories of espresso, leather, and a faint whisper of smoke.
