Nose: Fragrant, snickerdoodle, brown sugar, and stone fruit
Palate: Caramel, light butterscotch that transitions to baking spices
Finish: Short-medium, tobacco, leather, light tannins
Named after the first distiller in the Knob Creek region, this version of Wattie Boone is a Small Batch of casks at least six years old. Other versions featured older stocks from Preservation's iconic supply. Preservation Distillery is known for micro-batching. Wattie Boone Small Batch is a three-barrel blend. Not much else is known, the distillery discloses that it is pot distilled, has a low barrel entry proof, and is unfilitered (assuming it means non-chilled filtered).
The pour is light and delicate, the nose is sweet and which transfers to the top of the palate but you quickly get into baking spices and oak for the finish. For 100 proof, it feels a bit light, but it's still a serviceable sipper.
