William Larue Weller 2011 Release

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 66.75%

Score: 93 Points

This uncut, unfiltered, wheated Bourbon is a whopper! The nose is spicy with minimal burn and great notes of nutmeg, vanilla, linseed oil, and hints of cinnamon and oak. The taste has a great mouthfeel, syrupy at first with a touch of maple, but a blast of pepper explodes and fades quickly to reveal vanilla and hazelnut notes that last well into the finish, which gets longer with each sip. Outstanding!
