Description
W. L. Weller Full Proof is a distinctive bourbon, developed originally by William Larue Weller with wheat as a primary ingredient instead of the traditional rye. This spirit is bottled at the exact 114 proof it held when first placed in the barrel, offering a pure and unaltered experience. It’s a non-chill filtered wheated bourbon that forgoes chill filtration to retain all the natural residual oils and flavors generated during distillation and aging.
This unique process may cause the bourbon to appear cloudy at colder temperatures, but it enhances the rich mouthfeel and robust notes of vanilla and oak. The result is a whiskey that meets the expectations of non-chill filtered whiskey enthusiasts while paying homage to the man who made wheated bourbon legendary.
The aroma of this bourbon carries hints of vanilla, dark cherries, and caramel. On tasting, there’s a harmonious balance of caramel and toasted oak. The finish is reported to be long, leaving lingering notes of crème brûlée and chocolate. W. L. Weller Full Proof offers a complex and nuanced sensory journey, honoring its historical roots with every sip.
