About This Bourbon
The W.L. Weller 19 Year is a 90-proof wheated bourbon released through the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. It was bottled only for the 2000, 2001 and 2002 collections, and this bottle is from the 2001 release.
Before the barrel-proof William Larue Weller joined the Antique Collection in 2005, the wheated slot in the set was held by this 19-year-old.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Candied fruit, caramel, vanilla and old leather.
- Palate: Soft and rich, with dark sugar, dried fruit, baking spice and polished oak.
- Finish: Mellow, with caramel, oak and warm spice lingering on.
Serving & Food
At 90 proof it needs no water. It suits quiet foods: roast almonds, a slice of pound cake or aged Parmigiano.
Good to Know
How strong is it? 90 proof, unlike today's uncut releases.
How should I serve it? Neat in a small snifter.
