Add this to the list of hard to find bourbons being produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery. Buffalo Trace has filed its intent to bottle a product called Weller Full Proof with the TTB. The Weller Full Proof label shows that this will be a 114 proof (57% abv) bourbon.
The line of Weller wheated bourbons have gained in popularity over the past few years and this addition is sure to drive the demand for Weller.
The label reads: “William Larue Weller developed his original bourbon recipe with wheat rather than rye. Bottled at the same 114 proof in which it was entered into the barrel, this non-chill filtered wheated bourbon forgoes chill filtration to preserve all the naturally occurring residual oils and flavors that occur during the distillation and aging process (potentially making it appear cloudy at cold temperatures). This bourbon balances a rich mouth feel, with robust notes of vanilla and oak. A whiskey that satisfies the demand of the non-chill filtered whiskey enthusiasts, honoring the man who made wheated bourbon legendary.”
We look forward to trying this product when it is released. We also anticipate that the product will fetch some fairly high prices on the secondary market. No word yet on the MSRP for Weller Full Proof Bourbon.
Would love to get my hands on a bottle
