The Kosher Rye was surpisngly good. And Weller is always a classic. So the BT Kosher Wheat Recipe is promising. Let's check it out.
Nose: Cherry and vanilla. Gala apple and cocoa. Brown sugar. Marshmallow and toffee. Orange peel. Clove and nutmeg. Ginger. Oak.
Palate: Apple/apple cider and black cherry. There's a grape note. Chewy caramel. Brown sugar and vanilla. Dried apricot and orange peel. Oak.
Finish: The cherry, apple, and dried apricot persist from the palate. Brown sugar as well. The finish is then overtaken by cinnamon, black pepper, nutmeg, clove, and oak. Moderate length.
4.25. Same score as the rye. It's solid stuff. Definitely comes from the same heritage as the Weller line. Better than the Special Reserve, and cheaper too. At $40, this was well worth the price of entry. So far so good with this Kosher line. On to the Rye Recipe bourbon to complete the hat trick.

@dubz480 Thanks! On my first couple tastes, I definitely noticed that the rye recipe was the weakest link. I also wasn't crazy about the straight rye and that improved a lot with oxidation. I'll do the rye recipe bourbon next week so I'll have my answer soon enough!
Nice review as always. I feel the Bourbon Rye is recipe is the weakest of the bunch but am curious to see what you eventually think. Cheers!
