Another "perfect" value bourbon, if you just want a smooth but still spicy and not overbearing array of flavors this one is it. It's priced to make it an "every day" drinker if you can find it on the shelf. Starts warm, finishes warm, entirely smooth but flavorful.
(update 2020)
Well obviously you won't find this priced anything like retail anymore, probably ever again, like Full Proof, Antique, Single Barrel and all the other Saz owned products this one is destined to become another unicorn bottle. I would note Weller 12 has never really been better than Antique while you will almost certainly pay more for the black label. To each his own but I would save my money and get the Red Label Antique every time. Much like saving your money on Green Label now and just getting Makers Mark, the demand on Weller is just feeding a monster that probably needs to die.
We have done this ourselves, all of us, but it's important to remember while the demand for Weller, ALL Weller, has skyrocketed and thus so has the price, the product itself has not changed, it's no better or worse than it ever was. There are too many good things to be had that don't come from a Sazerac owned Weller bottle, to continually chase this dream.
