William Larue Weller Special Reserve / Wheated 75cl / 45% Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey From Buffalo Trace comes this "wheat" bourbon - the only one of its kind in the world. The blend includes Kentucky corn, North Dakota winter wheat and malted barley from North Dakota. It was William Larue Weller who in 1849 invented this opskrift, which requires at least 7 years of aging in fresh white oak barrels. This bourbon is delicate and almost "crisp" in taste. Nose: Natural aroma of lanolin, almond oil, and creamy corn. Taste: Bold, moderately sweet, and strong wheat notes (like wheat biscuits) Finish: The finish is long, sweet and intensely grainy. William Larue Weller Uncut & Unfiltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon WhiskeyThe initial nose impact is full of cotton candy and black walnuts. It develops into luscious dried fruit sweetness that is in perfect harmony with soft vanilla, powdered sugar and cinnamon spices. Upon sipping it starts with a smooth full mouth feel, and as it drifts back on the palate -BOOM- an explosion of big bourbon flavors. Oak, smoky sweetness and candied fruit dance across your tongue. This quaff is not without heat as it warms the senses without flame. It's a hearty drink, but the finish is very fresh and invigorating.

It takes a back seat to none. Malt Advocate Magazine Malt Advocate rating: 95 Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible rating: 89
