William Larue Weller Bourbon

Product Description

William Larue Weller Bourbon: Full-Bodied Wheated Bourbon from the Antique Collection

William Larue Weller Bourbon is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from Buffalo Trace Distillery. Named for the 19th-century distiller associated with pioneering wheated bourbon, this annual limited release belongs to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.

Rather than using rye as the secondary grain, William Larue Weller is made with a wheated mash. The result is a rich, full-bodied bourbon with a softer style of spice and a layered profile of caramel, fruit, nuts and oak. Release specifications can change from year to year, so the bottle label remains the best reference for the exact proof and batch.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Caramel corn, new leather, plums, light toffee and pipe tobacco.

Palate: Marshmallow, salted almonds, nougat, figs and dates.

Finish: Smooth, composed and sweet, with the whiskey’s rich flavors carrying through.

Food Pairings

Serve this full-bodied bourbon with roasted pork, glazed ribs, aged Gouda, toasted nuts or a dark-chocolate dessert. Savory richness and caramelized flavors complement its toffee, fruit and nut character.

Serving Suggestions

Buffalo Trace recommends enjoying William Larue Weller neat. Use a whiskey glass and give the pour time to open; if the barrel strength feels intense, add a few drops of water gradually to explore the aroma and texture.
