BancPac Live Auction Item: A few years ago, Weller asked whiskey drinkers to “Craft Your Perfect Bourbon” online by visiting www.yourperfectbourbon.com and choosing their ideal bourbon recipe, proof, warehouse location and age. Thousands chose wheated bourbon, just like William Larue Weller did years ago. This limited edition whiskey is the result of the overwhelming consensus—a wheated recipe bourbon, aged on the highest warehouse floors for eight years and bottled at 95 proof. Tasting notes: A light aroma with citrus and oak on the nose. The palate is well rounded and balanced, with a medium-long finish and hints of vanilla.

The medium-full-bodied flavour of this Cuban cigar contains classic notes of black pepper and cedar. It is paired with Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros Rum. The Gold Medal-winning liquid inside Havana Club Selección de Maestros remains the same as for the old Cuban Barrel Proof - as the name suggests, the casks have been hand-picked by the maestros roneros from the company's finest aged stocks. The rums selected by the maestros roneros are finished in special casks chosen for their aromatic properties before being bottled at a higher strength than the standard range for a more intense, immediate flavor on the palate.

The perfect addition to your home bar or outdoor patio, relax at this locally built, hand-crafted custom whiskey barrel bar table and stools and enjoy a bottle of 1792 bourbon.
