Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the bourbon lover who already knows what they like and wants it at full volume. Bottled at 114 proof (57% ABV) and presented as unfiltered and uncut, it keeps the rich oils and deep amber color that come from distillation and aging in new charred oak. The wheated mash bill gives it a smooth yet robust character. The nose opens on vanilla, dark cherry, and caramel before a full-bodied palate of caramel, dark chocolate, and baking spice, with toasted oak adding depth. The finish runs long, with crème brûlée, chocolate, and a slight smokiness. Made at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky and paying homage to William Larue Weller, it is a considered gift for a promotion, a milestone birthday, or Father's Day, especially for someone who enjoys sipping slowly and experimenting. Encourage them to taste it neat first, then add a few drops of water to coax out more vanilla and chocolate.
