I warmed up with some WSR. Let’s see how sr compares.
Legs are like oil stuck on the glass; can tell it has age.
Nose: orange vanilla creamsicle, minor ethanol, fleshy fruit like a plum, muted baking spice, hint of tobacco, maple syrup
Palate: wow that’s much sweeter than I was expecting, seeing some of the 107 character coming in for sure, oily, getting cinnamon I didn’t have on the nose, some barrel spice, cream cheese frosting
Finish: medium, really smooth transition from the palate, spice and heat hit late, brings back the creamsicle from the nose I didn’t have on the palate, a bit of the floral aspects of 107
I was worried I was going to be disappointed in this with all the hype, but damn. This is an absolute steal at $30, just like Antique was in Ohio; instabuy every time it’s available at retail. Would I pay $200? Hard no. I’ll probably pick this up if I ever see it for less $100. Which is a shame because it’s built as a perfect daily sipper. Would love to taste this at an extra 20 proof.
