It was in 1849 when one Kentucky distiller named William Larue Weller decided to experiment a bit: distill Bourbon while using wheat instead of rye. The undertaking was a success, and Billy created the first batch of Wheated Bourbon. Today, we celebrate him with Buffalo Trace's annual release of unfiltered and uncut Bourbon of the same DNA. Intriguing and highly collectible.
2018 William Larue Weller Kentucky Straight Bourbon was distilled in the winter of 2006. After it matured for 12.5 years in #4 char new American oak and lost almost 57% of the original Spirit to the angels, it was bottled at 125.7 Proof. The fruity-caramel character was awarded Five Stars by F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal. A treasure!

Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
The Buffalo Trace Distillery was one of the few production facilities that was allowed to remain in operation during Prohibition for "medicinal purposes."
Sure, Kentucky gets all the press when it comes to Bourbon. And with good reason—nearly 95% of it is produced there. But Bourbon can be made anywhere as long as it's within the United States. Just ask states with budding distilleries like Illinois and New York.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
