Weller Full Proof Bourbon

One of my all time favorites. 2oz pour

Flavorful. High proof. Dark fruit. Oak.

Finally taking delivery of my very own bottle of Weller Full Proof, I was all too excited to try my first taste. Typical of a good high proof bourbon, the nose is full of sweet with ethanol heat. Vanilla and cinnamon dance with caramel. Not an overly complex nose but it does seem to hint at the taste to come. Full proof definitely packs a tongue tingling punch. Vanilla opens the taste which explodes with baking spices, tannic oak and a odd tartness about it. It isn't necessarily fruity but maybe tastes a bit like under ripened cherries. The finish pushes towards the dry side. Again, hot cinnamon prickles your tongue and tannic oak and leather take center stage but as they fade, just a little bit of a milk chocolate after taste pushes down the last bit of finish. Weller Full Proof is certainly unique and a hot one. Maybe just a tad too hot, if Weller 12 is your idea of a perfect bourbon.
