William Larue Weller 2014 Release. Image courtesy Buffalo Trace. This is the annual uncut, unfiltered Bourbon made from a wheat-focused mashbill for the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, and despite its strength, the nose is smooth and creamy with subtle spicy touches, honey, cocoa, and toasted oak notes. The taste starts off with a touch of licorice, then turns dry and intensely spicy with chili powder and cinnamon spices, along with touches of ginger, honey, vanilla, and oak in the background. The finish is dry and long with lingering spices. (September, 2014)
