William Larue Weller Kentucky Bourbon 2016
The 2016 bottling features 145 barrels which were filled in the winter of 2003 at 114 Proof (57%), with the whiskey drawn in autumn 2016 after 12 years and 7 months of aging at 135.4 Proof (67.7%) and bottled unfiltered. The malt bill features Grade #1 and #2 Kentucky corn, North Dakota wheat and North Dakota malted barley.
"Part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, William Larue Weller Kentucky Bourbon is a rare and sought-after bourbon made from a mash bill of wheat, corn and barley. Aged for over a decade in charred oak barrels, this bourbon has a rich, complex flavor profile with big notes of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of spice. Sip it neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its smooth and well-balanced taste. Bottled at cask strength, each release is unique and varies slightly in proof. This exclusive, limited-edition bourbon is a must-have for any whiskey connoisseur."
William Larue Weller was born into a distilling family in Kentucky in 1825 and launched his W.L. Weller brand in 1849. Originally a rectification business (creating 'whiskey' using neutral spirit, colouring and flavourings), this all changed with the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 and the death of Weller two years later. The company was left in the hands of the fiercely passionate Julian 'Pappy' Van Winkle I who, having steered it safely through the wreckage of National Prohibition, established Old Weller alongside the newly acquired Old Fitzgerald labels and the flagship brands for the new Stitzel-Weller distillery in 1933. It was produced there for over 60 years, eventually being sold to the Sazerac Company in 1999, who distil it at Buffalo Trace using Pappy's recipe to this day.
