Nose - caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, buttery cinnamon, sweet floral notes, cherry, baked apple, black pepper, spicy oak, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - caramel, vanilla, cherry, cinnamon, brown sugar, black pepper, dry oak, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium short with caramel, cinnamon, and dry oak flavors. It’s about time I review a Weller. On a recent trip to Louisville, I paid way too much to sample the Special Reserve, Antique, 12 Year, and Full Proof. I didn’t have much time to spend with them, but I remember liking this one more than the Special Reserve, but not as much as the 12 Year and Full Proof. The nose is classic Buffalo Trace, but expectedly softer from the wheat component. Caramel, cinnamon, cherry, and something floral. The palate ramps up the cherry note, but the others are still present. There’s a marked oak influence, not quite tannic, but drying on the finish. This is solid $25 bourbon, which is what the retail price was a few years ago. It’s probably slightly better than the Early Times BiB I reviewed yesterday. But at the current $50 retail price, there’s no value to be found here. And the $150+ secondary prices are total insanity, but we all know that. It’s above average, but not an iota better than that. Many thanks to @jonwilkinson7309 for providing the generous sample! At MSRP, the Full Proof is the only one I’d actually want to add to my collection, but I won’t be holding my breath.
