Weller Special Reserve Bourbon

Nicely balanced, little heat is perfect

Strong floral cinnamon notes with spiced banana bread. Sweet but not cloying; love the mild heat on this

Nose: SWEET. Boquets of dried fruit drenched in honey with a drizzle of caramel. Palate: (After letting it breath for 15min) A wave of honied dry fruits with a dash of cinnamon. Each sip delivers a new fruit to the foreground. Finish: Short-medium length. As the tingle on your tongue fades you find your mouth becoming dry, jusr begging for the bext taste. This is one of my favorite pours when im in the mood for something sweet. Though ive never found it at the fabeled MSRP, im happy when i can pick it up for around $50.

I had to let the whiskey sit out for a little while because I was getting nothing but hot alcohol vapors on the nose. After some time I still got a little spice. Reminded me of the smell I got from Buffalo Trace (I thought). Doing a nose comparison between the two, Weller has a much stronger nose overall compared to Buffalo Trace. I also got a little bit honey and cinnamon. After taking a drink I can smell big caramel notes. Tasting, I’m surprised how much spice I’m getting from the wheated bourbon. A lot of the same nose characteristics come through. Comparing side by side Buffalo Trace and Weller Special Reserve. Buffalo Trace is sweeter but also more muted flavors while Weller Special Reserve’s flavors are more amplified but not by a severe amount. Still spicier then Buffalo Trace. Both are at the same 90 proof.

Super doux comme bourbon, bien épicé et sucré. Un peu de cannelle, maïs et de vanille également. C'est une finale plus côté poivré je dirais. On passe par beaucoup de saveurs durant cette gorgée en tout cas! Pour un bourbon pas nécessairement dispendieux, je le trouve excellent, il fait un bon travail et est de loin supérieur à ce qu'on peut retrouver dans cette gamme de prix comme bourbon.

Nose: oak, vanilla, cinnamon, kettle corn, sugar cane Palatte: oak, vanilla Finish: Smooth, sweet, vanilla and oak A really easy sipper

Sweet vanilla and with a tame wheat spike. Fantastic for the price. Never goes wrong!
