W.L. Weller Full Proof Bourbon Whiskey
Wheated Kentucky straight bourbon | 57% ABV / 114 proof | 750mL | Kentucky, USA
Process & Profile
W.L. Weller Full Proof is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery. It is bottled at 114 proof, the strength at which the spirit originally entered its barrel. This is the meaning of Full Proof in the expression’s name.
The whiskey is non-chill filtered, retaining components that may produce cloudiness when cooled. Its producer’s profile moves from vanilla, dark cherry and caramel aromas to toasted oak on the palate, followed by chocolate and crème brûlée on the finish. Full Proof is not a guarantee of undiluted cask strength, and the bottle carries no numerical age statement.

How to Enjoy
Begin with a small neat pour in a tulip-shaped tasting glass. Allow a moment for the aromas to develop, then compare with a few drops of water if you want to soften the strength or explore the sweeter notes.
A large ice cube is another option. For a simple pairing, try dark chocolate or lightly toasted nuts; keep the flavors restrained so the whiskey remains the focus.
