William Larue Weller is made from Buffalo Trace's wheated mash bill, where wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain alongside corn and malted barley. The 2014 release was distilled in the spring of 2002 and aged 12 years on the second, third, fourth, and sixth floors of Warehouses D, K, and L, then bottled uncut and unfiltered at 140.2 proof - the strongest in the brand's history. Buffalo Trace describes it as showing dark molasses, plums, and toffee.
