A rare find in the wild, and at MSRP no less! I’ve seen this once or twice over the years, so I made a rare impulse buy, and I’m quite pleased I did. Despite the hype and my distaste for Buffalo Trace’s limited allocation scheme (particularly in Texas), I do find myself liking this!
Nose is soft and fruity. Of all the wheaters I’ve tried, this one has a more active nose and palate than Makers or Rebel Yell. There’s a youth to it, but it’s not astringent. This almost feels like a cross between a Speysider and a well-aged Canadian whiskey. The palate is typical BT, soft and inoffensive, bit still tasty. I can see why people chase Weller bottles.
I do enjoy this. I’ve had half the bottle just this week, so it clearly doesn’t suck. I don’t love it enough to chase bottles down like you really hardcore bourbon aficionados, bit it is tasty and I’ll enjoy it if I can find it at MSRP. Cheers friends, and happy weekend!
