Love Weller SR so much! Makers may be the most brand recognizable wheated bourbon, but Weller is so much better, more rewarding, and cheaper to boot. One of my all time favorites for the price! Enjoyed neat from a Glencairn. On the nose, sweet honey, fruity (maybe fresh apples and pear), leather or varnish with some woody vanilla follows to the palate. Nice and rich vanilla sweetness with notes of honey and sweet fruit, again like green apples. A nice never overpowering warming heat and light spiciness fill the palate. Just a very delicious, sweet smooth sipping wheater that leaves you maybe pondering how good it's expensive wheated siblings must be! Finish is just as grand as it lingers into lovely barrel flavors of sweet lightly smoky wood. Later in the finish is my absolute favorite part of this sip, as it produces very enjoyable tobacco leaf notes and light menthol. Oddy enough even the older Weller 12 doesn't produce the rich tobacco note, but does give a better maple flavor inline with longer aging. If you prefer tobacco notes though, stick with the SR. Buffalo Trace products rarely disappoint and Weller is no exception, so well done! I do like other wheaters like Makers and Larceny, but Weller is always richer and more complex, and produces that tobacco note never found in the competitors. As good as this one is, I can't wait to try out its big brothers in the Weller line! Cheers!
