2016 BTAC release

67.7% abv 750ml

This 12 year old William Larue Weller Kentucky straight Bourbon whiskey was distilled at Buffalo Trace in Winter 2003 and bottled for their annual Antique Collection in Fall 2016.

Drawn from new charred American white oak at a huge 67.7% ABV (135.4 Proof), this limited edition barrel proof Bourbon is one of approximately 13,421 bottles - with over 65% estimated to be lost to those pesky angels through evaporation.

As is the norm with these BTAC releases, this excellent 12 year (and 7 month) old W L Weller Kentucky straight Bourbon whiskey sold out upon general release, which shouldn't surprise us considering the exceptional hype and praise it has earned over the years.
