W.L. Weller
William Larue Weller 2019 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
(0.75l,
64%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
William Larue Weller decided to swap rye for wheat when he distilled Bourbon back in 1849, creating the first Wheated Bourbon. Great lad, right? The eponymous brand from Buffalo Trace celebrates him with an annual release of rare, uncut, and unfiltered Wheated Bourbon.
The 2019 Edition was distilled in the winter of 2007 and bottled at 128.0 Proof after it matured for 12.5 years in #4 charred new American oak (in Warehouse I). Kentucky corn and wheat and barley from North Dakota gave this gem a vanilla-forward character with additional caramel and pecan notes on the nose, and a long oak, cherry, and dark chocolate finish. 2019 William Larue Weller Kentucky Straight Bourbon won a Gold medal at the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition. Kinda want this one, right?

Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!
Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
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.
Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
Yellowstone Bourbon has had several owners throughout its history, including J.B. Dant, D.H. Taylor, The Glenmore Distillery, United Distillers & Vintners, the David Sherman Company, Heaven Hill, and David Sherman (now known as Luxco).
