To be clear, I’m a Weller fanboy and buy a bottle whenever I can find one. For me it is a sign of fall and upcoming time with family and warm memories surrounded by good food and good company. This particular bottle is around a year old and only 1/5th full at this point. Early on I seem to remember the palate being sweeter but that could have been the company. Light amber in glencarin. Nose is light with new oak, warm caramel, ripe banana an subtle tannins. Incredibly smooth and soft - what I would expect from a low proof wheated bourbon. The palate is bright with vanilla, pear and slight ethanol. The finish is warm and a bit acidic but the warmth arises in the chest (not the tongue) calming, like reclining in a easy chair next to a fireplace. Are there more aromatic, flavorful and complex bourbons - absolutely. Will I always go out of my way if necessary to keep a bottle in hand - absolutely. I get that not everyone will love (or even like it) but soft and warming, this is a comfort bourbon.
