Has anyone tried any of this years' Buffalo Trace Antique Collection? In particular the William Larue Weller bottling? Here's a review by John Hansell from Malt Advocate -

John Hansell's Tasting Notes
This whiskey has improved greatly over the past two years. (I thought that the 2007 release was almost too easy-going, as some wheated bourbons can be.) A little more oak spice has added balance, complexity and depth. Very clean on the palate. Layered sweetness (toffee, caramel, maples syrup, elegant rum) provide a foundation for warming cinnamon, bramble, blueberry tart, sultana, light candy corn, herbal tea and subtle marzipan. A soft, dry, polished oak finish ropes in all the sweetness, keeping me wanting more. Excellent!

Might have to put a bottle of this on the x-mas list.
