Weller Antique 107 Single Barrel

Nose - citrus, vanilla, spice, quite delicate Taste - spiced oranges and vanilla, like a spicy creamsicle Finish - lingering spice, a bit dry, medium burn that also lingers

Neat. Neck pour. Party Source single barrel but no store pick sticker was put on it. This is faith. Advertised as a single barrel NCF. Came in this cute basket with some barrel stave art I am hanging in my bar. The big question is: it really a single barrel? Wow, off the nose no doubt this is not standard OWA. This has some really nice oak on it! Not as deep as a ORVW but damn it’s not far off on the nose. There is some cotton candy which is a note I get on OWA all the time. Some nice apricot. Gosh maybe more apple but right in that range with a cinnamon sugar reduction. This is just awesome on the nose. Geez this is a killer pour. Maybe the best OWA pick I have personally had. Syrupy thick on the tongue. Lights the tongue up with cherry sweetness. Transitions into a creamy vanilla ice cream covered in cherries and chocolate sauce. It’s ridiculously smooth. I have to test this against ORVW... So yes, the ORVW is a better pour. The extra age, crisp dark flavors and milk chocolate make it a better pour. This OWA single barrel still rocks. The vanilla ice cream is really good. It really lacks the barrel spice I find in base OWA which really raises it up into its own delicious flavor range. Glad I took the plunge on this one.

4.15 Louie and Martin Single Barrel Select. Lots of heat on the nose, flavor is sweet and fruity upfront with a fairly long dryer spicy finish.

Good sweet finish
