Full proof I have is a store pick and taste was a neck pour, neat, in rocks glass. Let sit for about ten minutes heavy swirl.
Nose - vanilla icing, maybe a little bit of butterscotch and caramel, hint of oak and cinnamon.
Palate - ton of flavor, vanilla, buttercream, caramel on the front, mid palate goes to an allspice, oak, and what reminded of just a hint of mesquite and smokiness. Coated the mouth well, velvety oily consistency.
Finish - much of the flavors on the palate, vanilla and oak the most, with black pepper and smokiness. Not drying or bitter at all. Finish extremely pleasant and moderate in length.
I’ve only had the Weller Special Reserve and the Antique, but this just moved to my favorite Weller product thus far and is just an absolutely delicious bourbon. Doesn’t drink like a 114 proof. Retail should be $50 and if you found it at that then no doubt about it you buy that all day. Now with where I live you see the stupid secondary prices where stuff like this goes for $200-$300+ and that’s absurd. I’d be willing to go up to $100 just because it is rare and hard to find, but mainly because it tastes fantastic and think it’s a good value still for how it tastes. Cheers!
