Description
William Larue Weller Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - 2025 Release (750ml, 129 Proof)
Uncut. Unfiltered. A wheated bourbon icon.
The William Larue Weller is the wheated bourbon expression of Buffalo Trace's Antique Collection, released annually in the fall. The 2025 edition is bottled at a fiery 129 proof (64.5% ABV), offering the raw intensity of barrel-strength whiskey. Aged in new American oak and crafted with a wheat mashbill instead of rye, this bourbon delivers a softer, sweeter profile while retaining immense power and complexity. Non-chill filtered and limited in allocation, it remains one of the most sought-after bourbons in the world.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
