Tastes

Weller Full Proof Binnys Batch 3 Aroma- picking up lots of spices here… cinnamon, baking spices, hint of winter green. Strong vanilla on the back end. Lacks complexity, but quite inviting. Taste - Dang that is big and bold. Drinks much hotter than 57%. But I’m enjoying it. Much more sweetness here than on the nose. Sweet caramel, vanilla.. even a slight milk chocolate note comes to mind. There is a slight grape/tannic note that creates a drying effect that is rather intriguing. Getting a touch of cherries and plums as it opens up. Much more complex here than on the nose. Overall - this is really damn good.

Binnys Pick 9 years 7 months 59.4% Warehouse RS Barrel 71-3L Aroma - massive amounts of chocolate, melted butter, rye definitely up front as well. Really nice balance here. Figs and plums coming through. And getting a slight hint of bubble gum. Taste - Whoa. That is quite different than the nose. Leather, tobacco, black tea, oak. All really bold flavors. Vanilla bean comes through on the finish. Really enjoy the transition from the bold on the front and the massive sweetness on the finish.

Warehouse - F Floor - 4 Distilled 12-26-12 Dumped 9-8-2021 Bottled 9-23-21 Barrel # 21-0791 Aroma - banana and luxardo cherry juice, cinnamon. The oak and vanilla profile is outstanding on this barrel pick. Very rich and decadent smelling. Taste - vanilla & oak all nicely balanced. Peanuts mid palate. Cherry juice coming in on the finish, with some alcohol heat and mint. Finish is medium length… wish it held just a tad longer.

Aroma - Man. This is a first.. It smells like new tires lol. It really does. I just cant get it out of my head. Outside of that.. I get a big oak profile, hints of wintergreen and cinnamon, black cherries. Its awesome. Taste - Leather, wet oak, black pepper, slight hint of cherry cough syrup. The finish is awesome and tons of different flavors dance all over the palate. Very long finish. Leather, caramel, vanilla, cherries. As weird as this description is… it’s unique and I think it is really awesome.

Aroma - brown sugar, almonds, apples, pears, pie crust baking spices. Sweet profile, quite a nice balance Taste - This is pretty good. Getting quite a bit of those same notes from the nose here. Big brown sugar, apples, berries and a slight spice. There’s a touch of old oak on the backend which really brings this into balance. Extremely smooth. Overall - above average at its price point. Really nice blend.. Definitely getting more of those younger 3 year whiskeys than the 12 years.

For the price it’s about average… makes a damn good cocktail though Taste - a bit of a sweeter rye. Still getting the rye / slight barnyard hay profile.. slight apple and mint… But getting quite a bit of vanilla too. Very good rye at the price point

Aroma - huge brown sugar and tropical fruits. Massively sweet. Rum is really shining through, hint of rye spice. Man I’m really liking this nose and really hoping the taste follows through. Taste - yes. This is what I was hoping for. That brown sugar, butterscotch and spice rum sweetness balancing out with the rye and tropical citrus notes. This is excellent summer night whiskey.

Aroma - peanut shells, huge red hot candies, ginger bread cookie, light vanilla frosting, cherry cola. Taste - man.. massive peanut presence on the first sip and even on the finish. Yea.. even on the second and proceeding sips, I’m gettin all peanuts. There is a slight flat cherry cola note. Touch of cinnamon and apples. Overall - nose was far superior to the palate. The amount of peanut-profile though is really extreme on this dram.
