I've been drinking this for years but might as well do a proper review. Even before I knew anything about whisky, I was a fan of WR bourbon. It was one of the first spirits I thought about tasting as opposed to pouring down my gullet.
Nose: Caramel, maple, oak and dried fruits.
Palate: Classic bourbon profiles, a little watery mouthfeel. Smooth, oaky and lots of caramel, vanilla and burnt sugar.
Finish: Medium length and sweetness dries up. Fruity and tannic.
This and Elijah Craig small batch are my go-to every day bourbons. I think Distiller's rating is a little high, but I also don't get the people that say it's overrated. It may not be tremendously complex, but damn it's a balanced and tasty dram.
