Nose: Higher proof is evident, but not overwhelming. Cinnamon, burnt sugar, vanilla. Oak - the barrel is coming through really pleasantly. Black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and berries.
Palate: It's all here - brown sugar, vanilla, oak, char. Hot cinnamon and ginger. Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate. Dusty leather. Slightly tannic, with good texture. Mouthfeel is medium. Finish starts off with a flash of black pepper, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla. The base fades away while the middle and top of the palate slowly evolve into orange blossoms, honeysuckle, and apples. That sweet, slightly floral character sticks around for a while, thanks to the oil content.
Other notes: This is exactly what I thought it would be, and I like it. This makes me fall in love with Weller all over again. Highly, highly recommend.

Still better than 12 year and WAY better than green label Weller, this is the Weller label I always look for along with the blue.
