Does Weller CYPB change up depending on year of release?
I've read some reviews of CYPB and really didn't seem to taste a big majority of the tasting notes that I've read about.
Anyway, here's my review of CYPB as tasted from a Glencairn in 2023 at a restaurant, neat pour.
The nose is all sweet and a delightful preview of things to come in the taste. Butterscotch and chocolate with a little hint of coconut and fresh pears open up your senses.
What a sweet start to the taste! Honey, butterscotch and caramel open up to a very slight syrupy sweet hint of canned peach. You definitely get some Weller 12 mid taste and that is not a bad thing in the least bit.
The finish gets a bit drier and spicier with some baking spices. Tannic oak kisses the tongue slightly for a well balanced and long lasting finish.
Wow! I can see why CYPB is in such high demand and low supply. By far and away one of the tastiest selections I've had yet.

@Whiskeyfart I'm thinking that CYPB must change year to year. My bottle is a few years old and I've reviewed it before but did not like it as much as you do here; that could be due to the yearly variation, though.
