Hey these things actually open and don’t just sell for outrageous prices on secondary! This is the new release from the Weller line. Aged 8 years, 95 proof, and stored on the top floor of the rick house. Picked up for $45
Nose: Picking up mostly light fruity notes, more specifically citrus. Not a great deal different from WSR, but the flavors are more pronounced.
Taste: Tasting this alongside WSR to keep myself in check. Oh yeah, this is a sweet one. Cherry, caramel, and vanilla are the three main players in this one. Mint follows behind them all as a secondary player.
Finish: This is where CYPB blows WSR out of the water. Whereas WSR has a pretty short finish, CYPB has nice caramel notes that linger on for awhile after swallowing. Again, mint notes follow behind, but the caramel is the leading flavor.
Overall: Yeah this is good. I’d grab this all day for $45, but definitely not for the $350 it’s been going for on secondary. Probably my favorite of the Weller line, granted I didn’t care for W12 too much.
Cheers!
