With a sharp palate and a keen sense for business, in 1849 Weller introduced the first bourbon to use wheat as its secondary grain in place of rye. Wheated bourbons — a style later followed by Pappy Van Winkle and Larceny — carry a softer, gentler, slightly sweeter profile than rye-based bourbons.

Lagavulin — the benchmark expression from one of Islay’s most storied distilleries, widely considered the most balanced heavily peated single malt Scotch in existence — presenting 16 years of coastal maturation in refill American and European oak casks that integrates the distillery’s intense peat smoke with sherry sweetness and maritime salt.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLagavulin Distillery was founded in 1816 on the south coast of Islay near the ruins of Dunyveg Castle, and its distinctive character comes from the combination of heavily peated Islay barley, the distillery’s famously long and slow distillation runs, and the salt air of the Kildalton coast where the warehouses sit directly above the tidal shoreline. The 16 Year is the expression that established Lagavulin’s international reputation as one of the Classic Malts of Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes the Lagavulin 16 from other heavily peated Islay expressions is balance — the sherry cask influence and extended 16-year maturation have integrated the peat smoke deeply into the spirit rather than presenting it as a raw, dominant force.

Weller Antique 107 is a 107-proof wheated Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace — the highest-proof expression in the standard Weller lineup and the one most sought after by collectors who want the full intensity of the wheated mashbill without moving to William Larue Weller.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Weller expressions, the Antique 107 uses the wheated bourbon recipe that William Larue Weller pioneered in the 19th century — substituting wheat for rye as the secondary grain after corn, producing a softer, richer character than high-rye bourbons at the same proof. At 107 proof with no age statement, the Antique 107 delivers concentrated caramel, dried fruit, and vanilla with genuine intensity, without the heat that typically accompanies a high-rye bourbon at similar proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOWA — the common collector abbreviation — is among the most allocated expressions in the Weller lineup alongside Weller 12 Year and Full Proof.

Weller 700ml 12 Year Bourbon Gold Foil","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter serving in the Louisville Brigade during the Mexican-American war, William Larue Weller returned home to his native Kentucky. His family had helped settle Kentucky in the late 18th century, and his grandfather, Daniel Weller, purchased a distillery in Nelson County in 1800. (When Daniel Weller died, his estate was inventoried and was said to contain three whiskey barrels, two stills, one mash kettle and numerous dry kegs.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon his return to Kentucky following the war, W.L. Weller joined the family business and began working at his grandfather's distillery. Weller had a sharp palate and a keen sense for business and in 1849, he introduced the first bourbon ever that used wheat as its secondary grain instead of rye. Wheated bourbons (including Pappy Van Winkle and Larceny Bourbon, which eventually imitated W.L. Weller's mashbill) have a softer and more gentle flavor profile as compared to bourbons that use rye as their secondary grain. Wheated bourbons also have a slightly sweeter taste. Weller's bourbon was incredibly popular in antebellum America and ultimately forced him to place a green thumbprint on his invoices and barrels as a certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in homage to one of bourbon's original aristocrats, W.L. Weller 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon continues to be crafted using Weller's wheated bourbon recipe. Aged for a minimum of 12 years, far longer than most wheated bourbons. This whiskey features aromas of creamy vanilla, caramel and molasses that gives way to notes of candied corn, ripe fruits, cocoa powder and dried fruits on the palate. With a finish, which is elegant and soft, has hints of mint, fruit and vanilla this wheated bourbon is not to be overlooked. W.L. Weller 12 Year Old Bourbon earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"views-field views-field-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"views-field views-field-field-tasting\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"views-label views-label-field-tasting\"\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn and toasty vanilla.
