The 2014 William Larue Weller is one of the most formidable releases in the history of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Bottled at an extraordinary 140.2 proof (70.1% ABV), this vintage remains the highest-proof William Larue Weller release produced. It is an uncut and unfiltered Kentucky straight bourbon made with Buffalo Trace's celebrated wheated bourbon recipe, replacing rye with wheat for a richer, softer style beneath its considerable barrel strength.

Distilled in the spring of 2002, the 2014 William Larue Weller was aged for 12 years and 3 months before being bottled in the fall of 2014. Just 39 barrels were selected for the release, drawn from the second, third, fourth, and sixth floors of Buffalo Trace Warehouses D, K, and L. The combination of extended aging, substantial evaporation, and barrel-proof bottling produced an exceptionally concentrated expression of Weller.

Despite its remarkable proof, the 2014 release is prized for far more than sheer intensity. Dark molasses, caramel and toffee lead into ripe plum and other dark-fruit notes, with toasted oak, baking spice, vanilla and deeper roasted flavors developing across the palate. The finish is powerful, warming and persistent, carrying the bourbon's sweetness and mature oak long after each sip.

William Larue Weller is the wheated bourbon member of Buffalo Trace's annual Antique Collection and has become one of the most sought-after American whiskeys on the secondary and collector markets. The 2014 edition stands apart even within that highly allocated series for its 140.2-proof strength, tiny 39-barrel production and distinctive place in Weller history.

For collectors of rare bourbon, vintage Buffalo Trace Antique Collection releases, and exceptional barrel-proof American whiskey, William Larue Weller 2014 is a benchmark bottling from one of the most coveted names in Kentucky bourbon.
