Laws Centennial Straight Wheat Whiskey Bonded (2021 Release)

I was in a very nice bar in Houston and there was a man who was introducing this dram to the barman. He gently gave me a sample and here we are to give our thoughts on this Laws Centennial Straight Wheat Whiskey, 5yo bottled in bond. Bottled at 50%abv, tawny color. On the nose, it was incredibly interesting with crazy aroma notes. Starts very woody; merthiolate. Cream for treat burns, crushed almonds, creamy moka. Gets a lot better with time. Hazelnut. The aroma is strange and appealing Waffer and coffee. On the palate it doesn't have much, but it is not bad. Woody and nutty. Red fruits with spices. Aftertaste is a little better, with classic american whiskey flavors. Clove, prunes. Sour short finish. Overall, it felt interesting on the nose with crazy aroma notes, but everything fell on the palate and aftertaste. Nothing is off-putting but it is not going to be someone's favorite dram. My score for it is 69 over 100.
