Description
Born in 1825, William Larue Weller was famous for being the 1st distiller to use wheat instead of rye in the mash bill when creating Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. He was an absolute giant of his time and we’re sure he’d be completely content knowing that today his whiskey is still uncut, unfiltered and ‘wheated’ using the same age-old technique he pioneered so many years ago.

William Larue Weller Bourbon has won over 40 national and international awards with this 2021 edition aged for 12 years and 6 months. Australia’s allocation has been the smallest ever for the BTAC 2021 collection and we only have the one bottle to sell.
