William Larue Weller Bourbon (Fall 2017)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 23, 2017 (edited April 24, 2018)Beautiful color. Vanilla, caramel, leather, red fruit. More red fruit and leather with nice, lingering heat. Tail of vanilla and oak with some char. Feel very lucky to have scored a retail bottle, but questioning whether I should have opted for the Stagg instead. -
