William Larue Weller is Buffalo Trace's uncut, unfiltered wheated bourbon in the Antique Collection, and the 2015 release was bottled at 134.6 proof for full barrel-strength intensity. It remains one of the key collector releases in modern American whiskey.
From the Producer
William Larue Weller is produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, and released annually as part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, alongside George T. Stagg, Eagle Rare 17 Year, Sazerac 18 Year and Thomas H. Handy. It is bottled uncut and unfiltered at full barrel strength, with the age and proof changing from batch to batch depending on which barrels are selected that year. Public BTAC release records list the 2015 bottling as distilled in spring 2003, aged roughly 12 years and 3 months, and bottled at 134.6 proof — matching the strength on this bottle.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dark caramel, vanilla, oak, dried fruit and baking spice.
- Palate: Powerful and oily, with toffee, charred oak, dark fruit, sweet wheat and barrel-proof heat.
- Finish: Very long and warming, with aged oak, spice and caramel.
Best For
BTAC collectors, serious bourbon tastings and buyers who want full-strength Weller rather than softer proofed expressions.
