Nose: sweet, subtle oak. The char sort of started coming through 20-30 mins in. The first 10-12 mins of rest the nose was almost all sweet. Palate: buttery, warm apple — nothing crazy complex Finish: hint of cinnamon/clove, subdued heat Rating: 8.25/10. Easy to see where WTRB gets its brethren flare. It’s a very sippable as-is neat bourbon from WT (which I haven’t seen in the wild in VA for almost 2 years now, as it’s become allocated).
