This bottling of a William Larue Weller Kentucky Straight Bourbon was produced as a limited edition in the Antique Collection by Buffalo Trace. The whisky is unfiltered/unblended and bottled at cask strength.
William Larue Weller is now a brand of the Sazerac Company from New Orleans, the whiskey is produced in the Buffalo Trace Distillery. The name goes back to William Larue Weller (1825-1899), who was the first to replace rye with wheat in his whiskey.
Whiskey production in the United States is dominated by about a dozen large distilleries, so that almost all whiskey sold comes from a single distillery, and blended whiskey is almost non-existent as a mixture of the whiskey of several distilleries.
The terms single barrel for whiskey from a single cask and small batch for whiskey from a relatively small number of casks have become established as distinguishing features.
