It's incredible how different these two barrels are. The fab Weller Cask that we sent to Mexico is still one of the best we've ever bottled. Let's try it. Color is white wine (.1). It so round and rich on the nose with powerful vanilla, sweet roasted agave and caramel. Here the color completely belies the completeness of the character on the nose, offering a deep enthralling experience that is exactly what we're looking for in a single barrel. On the palate, the texture is rich and creamy with hints of lemon zest, dark baking spice and sweet roast agave. The barrel is much more prevalent than on the Stagg and gives us a bold vanilla and rich complexity. If you're looking for something that really translates the feeling of the previous spirit and is less classically tequila in flavor, this is the barrel to grab.

Such a hidden gem, and equally confusing as it is compelling, this cask threw me for a loop. When I poured and smelled it, my first thought was, "This is supposed to be tequila? No, sir, that's bourbon." The whiskey influence is profound here, as the nose is chock full of vanilla, caramel, toasted wood, and barrel spice. The palate delivers fresh, sweet flavors of the same, with cinnamon and clove balancing a subtle apple skin tone. It's vibrant and juicy with a lingering, mellow finish. Heartwarming and mouthwatering, this sort of bottle deserves a backup or two; if you drink it with friends (and you absolutely should), it'll be gone before the night is over.

Notes

The fabulous program from the Sazerac Company offers us a chance to bring our bourbon selections to further use in Jalisco. Once dumped the barrels whisked away to the excellent San Matias distillery in Los Altos and filled fresh with freshly distilled tequila. The agave for these single barrels are all harvested from the single estate where this was distilled and once distilled are always rested for over a year. Each gives a unique expression of the barrel and the gorgeous spirit within. The process takes time and requires a leap of faith, but we know with good spirit and good wood makes from great tequila! We selected this barrel of W.L. Weller and bottled it as a Full Proof way back in 2022 and it spent 12 long months aging in the hot Jalisco sun before being dumped and bottled exclusively for K&L. This rich and round tequila offers everything you love about Weller bourbon with a tequila twist.
