Look: Dark orange, lacing on the glass, translucent and a beautiful reflection off the tree out my window
Nose: when taking a whiff, the first thing I thought was a bowl of Wheaties. Behind the wheat note you can find vanilla brown sugar, and clove. Swirling the whiskey gives way to more wheat.
A drop of water opens a more medicinal note, as well as a more muted fruit aroma.
Palate: Kind of the typical wheated whiskey notes - wheat, vanilla and some nice oak. Letting the bourbon sit, I get a bit more sweetness, with the obvious burn of alcohol sitting in your mouth. The flavor is nice, if not unexpected.
Finish: Bitterness, but not acrid, fair amount of heat, with woody notes and some pepper lingering on the finish.
Overall: I snagged this for 21.99 at my local Cub, and, for that price, this is a great wheated bourbon. Compared to Weller, no, this isn’t as good, however, this is a whiskey worth exploring.
