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.
