Open 2 months Nose - Soft maraschino cherry, caramel, fruity leather, crème brulee, red hot cinnamon candy, blueberry and cherry pie filling, and medium ethanol. Palate - Caramel syrup drizzled over cherry pie, oiled leather, cinnamon candy, cane sugar, and plums. Finish is medium-short with lingering artificial cherry, honey, cinnamon, oak tannins, and medium ethanol bite. Honestly I wanted to hate this, but it's a good wheated bourbon with a very good nose and shorter than expected finish. But, there's no way in hell I'd pay a markup for this or spend countless hours hunting it down. I got lucky and picked it up locally at MSRP during a club pick release. I'm glad I did because honestly it may be the best thing I've tried so far from Buffalo Trace, which isn't saying much. Here's the dirty secret that may be my isolated opinion, this tastes really, really similar to Maker's Mark 101 and Cask Strength. Both are readily available for $42 and $50 in NC, the cask strength on sale a quarter of the year for $40. When I opened this bottle, my very first thought was this is that great Maker's 101 I bought last year. I've already gotten in arguments on Facebook with people who religiously hunt and secondary purchase BT products who think I'm an idiot. These same people haven't tried the good Maker's products or half of the big brand bourbons because all they do is look for scarce products listed in clickbait internet articles. Don't be that person, buy Maker's and cover the label with a piece of tape with Weller written in Sharpie.
