If a bottle is allocated, it usually means the demand on the bottle is high and supply is low. Therefore, distributors have to limit (i.e. 'allocate') the number of bottles they distribute to a particular retailer or bar/restaurant. The allocation process is usually determined via the volume of sales that a particular retailer does. In short, these bottles are typically harder to find.
Weller Full Proof is one of Buffalo Trace’s more sought after bottles, as part of their wheated mash bill Weller lineup. This expression is 114 proof and is the only ‘full proof’ of the Weller family.

It’s both spicy and sweet on the nose; we detected some baking spice, honey, caramel and some fairly prominent oak aromas.
A decent spice kick to start things off, mostly black pepper. This transitions to sweet throughout the palate with some fruit candy notes, caramel and honey and then transitioning to baking spice as it heads to the finish.
More black pepper spice and baking spice round out the end, flanked by oak and then a touch of vanilla and caramel. There’s a very, very prominent Kentucky Hug at the end that doesn’t let go for a long while.
Bottom line is that this bottle just brings it.
It’s good. And while the tasting notes we provided here may not seem too exciting, it does these particular notes pretty well. They’re not faint in the least. There’s a fair amount of character here and that’s what makes this bottle enjoyable.
Negatives? The only thing we could think of is the level of spice and heat this one brings. In fact, that’s the only aspect we could ding this one on…it was pretty hot at first, and finishes real nice and warm. A very powerful Kentucky Hug greets you at the end. But we didn’t take much off for that, since that can be an enjoyable aspect for some and it doesn’t take away from the pleasant sweet notes that this bottle imparts.
Overall, we’re giving Weller Full Proof an 8.3 out of 10.
