Nose is interestingly very similar to EHT SB. I was hoping for a higher proof, heavier hitting OWA, but it’s a bit more of a departure than that. Great bourbon but it’s not my favorite of the Weller line up. Closer to a higher proof Weller 12. Buttery, spicy, vanilla and caramel nose. Palate is great. Warm and round and rich. Heat coats the tongue with long finish. Slight cherry. I use the rating scale below. Distiller uses a scale of 5 and I use a scale of 10, but I’m sure you’re not too drunk to do the math! 1. Disgusting - So bad I poured it out. 2. Poor - I wouldn't consume by choice. 3. Bad - Multiple flaws. 4. Below average - Not bad, but many things I'd rather have. 5. Good - Just average. 6. Very Good - Better than average. 7. Great - Well above average. 8. Excellent - In a league of its own. 9. Incredible - An all-time favorite. 10. Perfect
