{"product_id":"w-l-weller-full-proof","title":"W.L. Weller Full Proof","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eW.L. Weller Full Proof is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace, bottled at 114 proof — the same proof the spirit was when it entered the barrel — and non-chill filtered to preserve the naturally occurring oils and flavors developed during distillation and aging.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWilliam Larue Weller developed his original bourbon recipe using wheat rather than rye as the secondary grain, the choice that made wheated bourbon legendary and that still defines the Weller line today. Full Proof honors that legacy at barrel-entry strength: bottling at 114 proof with no dilution preserves the full concentration of flavor, while skipping chill filtration keeps the residual oils intact (which can make the bourbon appear cloudy at cold temperatures — a sign the character has been left untouched). The result balances a rich, full mouthfeel against robust vanilla and oak.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak with the soft sweetness of the wheated mashbill\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and full — vanilla, oak, and brown sugar carried by the 114-proof strength\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering wood and sweet grain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114 (57% ABV), barrel-entry proof\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat does “full proof” mean here?\u003c\/strong\u003e The bourbon is bottled at 114 proof — the exact proof at which it entered the barrel — with no water added before bottling, preserving the full concentration of flavor.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhy might it look cloudy when cold?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is non-chill filtered, so the naturally occurring oils remain in the spirit and can cause a slight haze at cold temperatures.
