Introduced in 2000, the W.L. Weller 19 Year Old is a rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that was bottled annually until 2003. Unfortunately, it was discontinued due to the Sazerac partnership with Old Rip Van Winkle, which required primary access to the distillery's ageing wheated bourbon. This 1982 vintage bourbon was distilled at the Stitzel-Weller distillery and bottled from a selection of well-aged casks unloaded by Diageo in the late 1990s. The W.L. Weller 19 Year Old returned as the younger William Larue Weller in 2005 and has been bottled annually since as part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. This exceptional bourbon boasts a rich and complex flavor profile with notes of oak, caramel, and spice.
