I’ve had the rest of the Weller lineup (Special Reserve, Antique 107, and Full Proof), but had yet to try the 12yr until now. On the nose, I get sweet raisins, plumbs, baking spice, leather, oak and old books. The palate follows through with the nose with similar fruit and spice notes, as well as leather and oak. The finish is medium in length with some lingering spices and oak. I enjoyed this, but had to compare it to its younger brother Special Reserve. They both share the same proof and SR is cheaper and more readily available. They are similar, probably the most similar of all of the Weller lineup. The 12yr is basically a more matured and more enjoyable Special Reserve. The fruit notes are brighter in the SR, where the 12yr they were darker and deeper. Similar spices, but more oak in the 12yr. Although the 12yr wins between the two, it is not worth $100+ more than SR on the secondary market or the stores that mark it up just as much. If you can find it for a nice price, cool. Otherwise, don’t loose sleep over it.
