William Larue Weller Bourbon (Fall 2018)

Tasted 12/31/18 at Last Hurrah, Boston The nose is very interesting, something I have never smelled before. I almost want to call it a spoiled milk smell, but still overall nice. This must be the butter aromas coming out. The palate is extremely complex and the finish seems like it goes on forever. For a wheated high proof bourbon it definitely has a kick to it, but that is partially why we like it. Price is based off a 2oz pour!

Whereas this year’s George T. Stagg tempers it’s usual attitude a bit (in a delightful way), William Larue Weller does the opposite. So much sweet fruit - the familiar profile of cherries, dark fruit like raisins and blackberries, brown sugar - but this year there’s notes of cinnamon spice that have this feeling like a bolder bourbon than in years past. Some hints of smoke, oak, and leather join for the finish. As usual, this one’s a real stunner.
