W.L. Weller Full Proof Straight Bourbon

W.L. Weller Full Proof Straight Bourbon is a remarkable expression of the bourbon-making art. Originating from the storied Buffalo Trace Distillery, this bourbon honors the innovative spirit of William Larue Weller, who pioneered the use of wheat in bourbon mashbills. Bottled at the same 114 proof at which it entered the barrel, this non-chill filtered bourbon retains all the naturally occurring residual oils and flavors, which can lead to a cloudy appearance at colder temperatures. The whiskey's rich mouthfeel, coupled with robust notes of vanilla and oak, delivers an experience that resonates with bourbon aficionados and casual enthusiasts alike.

This expression has a nose of vanilla, dark cherries and caramel. On the palate, there is a balance of caramel and toasted oak. The finish is said to be long, with notes of crème brulee and chocolate.

The rich and complex profile of W.L. Weller Full Proof makes it an excellent partner for hearty, flavorful dishes. It can be savored alongside smoked meats, bold cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts, offering a delightful culinary journey that complements the bourbon's depth and character.
