W.L. Weller·Buffalo Trace Antique CollectionWilliam Larue Weller

William Larue Weller is a barrel-proof Kentucky bourbon released as part of the annual Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. It is made in a wheated style, meaning wheat is used in the mashbill in place of rye, which is often associated with a rounder, softer profile.

This 2025 release carries a stated age of 12 years and is bottled at cask strength at 64.5% ABV. For a novice drinker, that means a full-bodied bourbon with concentrated flavour and noticeable alcohol intensity, best approached with small sips and, if desired, a little water.
