The Story
125.3 proof. Uncut. Unfiltered. William Larue Weller 2008 — the 2008 vintage of the BTAC wheated bourbon, now over 15 years from its original fall allocation and filling the 2008 gap in the current Wooden Cork WLW deep-vintage collection.
The 2008 WLW at 125.3 proof is in the mid-range of the deep-vintage proof spectrum — above the 2007 (117.9) and 2010 (126.6) and below the 2013 (136.2). Two bottles in current stock make it the most available of the deep-vintage WLW expressions in the current Wooden Cork collection.
