William Larue Weller Bourbon 2006
75cl / 62.85%
The 2018 release of Buffalo Trace distillery’s William Larue Weller bourbon has been aged for 12 years in lightly-charred, virgin-oak barrels. This wheated bourbon was bottled at cask strength and has rich flavours of dried fruits, figs and heady caramelised vanilla.
To be honest I didn’t even know they were using oak to mature Entre-deux-mers, which is a very moderately reputed dry white Bordeaux. On the other hand, it’s probably been rather harmless. Colour: Light red. William Larue Weller Bourbon 2006 Bot.2018
Nose: no wine that I can find at this point, rather a pristine, clean, young Caol-Ilaness. Seawater, oysters, smoke, clams, kelp, ashes, a little fat. With water: iodine and mercurochrome. How expected and anticipated. Mouth (neat): typical sweet smoky arrival, getting on green lemons and oysters, with some cigar ashes in the background. With water: very tight, acidic, green, with some green oils, perhaps even a touch of mezcal. Nothing not to like. Pink grapefruits.
Finish: long, bright, blade-y. Perhaps, indeed, a few drops of white cognac, or blanche d’armagnac. Comments: no quibbles, this is awesome. Entre-deux-mers you say, okay… By the way, this is more proof that CI is not any less ‘peaty’ than its buddies on the south shore of the island.
