Weller Antique 107 Bourbon

3.8 - very good. Great finish, unfortunately tried after Stagg Jr and doesn't measure up that high. 2-28-17

Smells of caramel and apple cider. Fierce on the tongue. Spice and sweetness, and a rush of candy apples. The cinnamon lingers. Great value at retail. 2/23/17 Sharper than last time. 3/11/17 Sweet apple cider, vanilla, and oak on the nose. The proof is evident at first sip, it's hot and spicy but not overbearing, as the butterscotch sweetness and fall flavors, as well as the full mouthfeel, round out the profile. Bitter cacao notes and cinnamon apple pie notes linger in a long finish. A warm Kentucky hug as well. This takes you for a ride, intense but fun. At retail price, hard to pass up, no matter how many you've bunkered. 5/28/17

Sometimes I prefer over Maker's Mark Cask Strength (due to greater complexity and Maker's sweetness), but other times I find its too harsh, and lacking any sweetness and prefer the Maker's Cask Strength. I look forward to trying Weller 12yr and Maker's 46, however.
