Weller Special Reserve Bourbon

Very similar to Makers Mark. Maybe a little smoother

Apples, honey, caramel

The nose is very promising with vanilla and apple notes. Reminds me a bit of Eagle Rare 10. The palate is also fairly reminiscent of Eagle Rare 10, except a very faded version with the flavor volume turned down to 3. There's potential here, would be curious to try a more mature version like Weller 12. This one however goes firmly in the mixer category, just not enough flavor intensity to make it an enjoyable sipper for my palate.

Wasn’t impressed. Didn’t really get a lot in the flavor profile. Was on the sweeter side but nothing stood out. The finish wasn’t good… unrefined is the best way to describe it. I’m interested to try another bottle because I’ve heard great reviews about Weller. Even this entry point.
