William Larue Weller is a celebrated name within the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, honoring one of bourbon’s early pioneers and champions of wheat in the mash bill. The 2016 release stands out with its high proof of 135.4, reflecting the barrel strength philosophy that defines this series. Each autumn, collectors and enthusiasts anticipate the arrival of BTAC selections, with William Larue Weller consistently ranking among the most coveted. The 2016 bottling continues the legacy of unfiltered, boldly presented bourbon, echoing techniques from the 19th century. Its tall, elegant bottle, adorned with gold script and historical details, mirrors the sense of tradition and reverence for Weller’s contributions to American whiskey. For those who appreciate storied releases, this edition is a true highlight from a year remembered for its exceptional quality and scarcity.
