Detailed Description
William Larue Weller developed his original bourbon recipe with wheat, rather than rye. Bottled at the same 114 proof in which it was entered into the barrel, this non-chill filtered wheated bourbon forgoes chill filtration to preserve all the naturally occurring residual oils and flavors that occur during the distillation and aging process (potentially making it appear cloudy at cold temperatures). This bourbon balances a rich mouthfeel, with robust notes of vanilla and oak. A whiskey that satisfies the demand of the non-chill filtered whiskey enthusiasts, honoring the man who made wheated bourbon legendary.
W. L. Weller Full Proof Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Baked apples and vanilla are showcased on the nose, along with fiery cinnamon.
Palate: The palate offers vanilla bean, baking spices, sour cherries, and cassia bark.
Finish: The finish turns to the drier and more medicinal side, with spearmint, tannic oak, leather, and milk chocolate truffles. Quite sippable despite the high proof, with a pleasantly lengthy finish.

I Couldn’t be happier with my whiskey order. The Whiskey was shipped the same day I ordered it and it arrived two days later. The whiskey was well packaged and was exactly what I had ordered. Thank you for your attention to detail!
