Neat in a Glencairn. Nose: Cinnamon, vanilla, citrus peel, tobacco and a light floral note. The famous WT barnyard funk is there, way in the background, but only if you know to look for it. Palate: Big honey vanilla sweetness on entry that transitions quickly to a peppery mid-palate. Short, slightly drying astringent wood heavy finish. Leaves a tingly coating of citrus, mint and wood. Despite loving the Rare Breed from the get-go, WT101 was an acquired taste for me. It took several cracks at it and varying levels of dilution. Now it's one of my favorites. This I liked right from the start. Perhaps this bourbon is intended to be a gateway to WT's other bourbons for those new to whiskey. If so, I think they've hit the right notes. Where this one may struggle is price point. There is a glut of $30-$40 bourbons. When this bottle is gone, it's going to be hard for me to buy another one with curiosity no longer being a factor.
