- Description
- At 45.0% ABV, this William Larue Weller Special Reserve punches above its weight. £43.5 isn't cheap, but with a 4.75 rating and 'Vanilla' tagging, it might be justifiable. America does things differently, and this bourbon could either intrigue or disappoint. Hard to say without tasting it, but it doesn’t whisper, it shouts.
