Weller 12 Year Bourbon

After trying to find it for a good while, I got a 2 oz. pour for $9 at Cooper's Hill Public House in Peterborough, NH. Given its rarity, kind of amazing. The nose is a bracing shot of citrus at first. I get a little bitter astringency, so my thought is grapefruit or bergamot. Followed closely by a soft, round nuttiness and maple, with crumb cake, and chocolate. Palate is glazed pastry, pecans, and a stiff peppery follow up. Finish is medium short, but the black pepper lingers. I would not add it to my Mt Rushmore of fav bourbon, but it's a great choice, and worth a dram if you can find it.

Nutty, orange, slight vanilla. Very smooth, short finish.

I loved this. Had on my birthday at Whiskey and Rye in the FW Omni. 2018. Some of the best I hav ever had
