Weller Special Reserve Bourbon

Straight: Good

Nose is soft and muted, sweet and pleasant. Taste is sweet, citrusy with some oak. Theres a little tang and spice in the middle, maybe slightly hot for 90 proof but not too bad. Finish is short but pleasant. Definitely worth having on hand if you get it at a reasonable price.

This overall is just an extremely average bourbon. It's very astringent on the nose and palate. Very slight caramel and apple notes. If it did not have the name Weller it would never get this much attention. 107 is the star in this lineup although many full proof picks are outstanding albeit just so over priced. If you can get this at around 25 then try it. Picked it up in Ohio.

Rating: 2.97/5 Nose: Very light nose, slight oak, strawberries, and floral notes. Nose is a bit underwhelming. Palate: Honey, apricot, light oak, vanilla. Relatively thin mouth feel. Not super complex but satisfying nonetheless. Finish: Light oak and honey carries through to the finish, along with a slight warmth and some light fruit notes. Overall: If you're able to find this bottle sub $30 I think it's worth picking up. It offers a low proof point which makes for a good daily sipper and I believe a good entry point for new bourbon drinkers.
