William Larue Weller, 70.1%

Price: 80 Issue: Winter 2014 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Distilled in 2002. For many years now, this wheated whiskey has maintained just the right amount of oak influence for balance and added complexity. This year's release is sporting some extra dried oak spice (especially on the finish), but it's still a delicious whiskey. Notes of toffee, maple syrup, blackberry jam, cinnamon, and vanilla, with a dry, allspice and polished leather finish.
