Nose: Rye Spice, Caramel, Cinnamon, Earthy, and Light Fruit. Also slight Mint, Oak, and Ethanol. Palate: Spicy, Vanilla, Syrup, Oak, and Char. Also slight Fruit, Light Richness, and Tarnish (unfortunately). Thoughts: WT 101 was my original favorite bourbon. When I first started I sought out the “best budget bourbons”. Surprisingly, I landed on this bottle and stuck with it for about a year (until the quality was noticeably worse). This pour is a bourbon classic. It’s a great representation or rye spice in bourbon. This bottle offers the sweet and oaky pillars of bourbon while also sneaking in some potent spice. For it’s price range, it is very complex. However, it can be a bit unforgiving to somewho who doesn’t prefer spicy bourbons (like myself). Overall, it’s a classic and deserves to be in every bar because of it’s price point. It’s a fine sipper occassionally, and an even better mixer in cocktails. WT 101 isn’t great, but it’s a versatile and foundational bottle.
