William Larue Weller (Buffalo Trace Antique Collection 2017)

This is a work of art. It begins by revealing vanilla from custard to cake icing. Then it speaks caramel with a dark chew crème brûlée and Werther’s Original hard candy. From here complexity takes over with candied popcorn butterscotch chocolate ganache French toast maple honey pumpkin pie fried pie dough blueberries and cinnamon with hints of molasses and pecan. The long finish seems to offer a concentration of all the flavors. Delicious. Editor's Choice.
