William Larue Weller Bourbon (Fall 2019)

Nose: red fruit, grape, cherry, brown sugar, slight tobacco leaves, dusty library books Palate: complex and bold, brown sugar, vanilla Finish: long, warm finish Overall: so good, great legs, probably one of the best whiskeys I’ve had to this point (this review doesn’t do it justice)

4.35 Too spicy and fusel. There is a great fruity caramel depth but it quickly gets covered up

Revisiting... Having a 4 oz Boston Round that was well stored filled to the top when bottle was a fresh crack Originally rated 4/0, but must say its at least a 4.25/5. Normally 4.0 or higher for me means I would buy a bottle, maybe a backup 4.25 definite buy with back up probable multiple backups possible 4.5 and 4.75 more of the same with an even greater appreciation 5.0 not certain if i have rated anything at 5/5 but if so everything was incredibly delicious...literally flawless With WLW price hitting 2K on secondary earlier this year, prices did decrease however too hard to find at or close to retail and so many other bottles as good and can be found at or around retail... WLW is a treat, sipping on this Christmas day 2022 and appreciating it, but not ISO CHEERS
