Pretty mild aroma of honey, hay, flan, citrus, pepper, and a little ethanol.
Palate features honey, creme caramel, butterscotch, cereal grains, orange peel, and some barrel spices in the mid palate. Hint of char as well.
Rye spice, toasted grain, and mint in the short finish. Mouthfeel is fuller than expected given the proof and flavor profile.
This bourbon/rye hybrid comes together pretty well, highlighting some of the best elements of both. I particularly liked the toasty grain flavors. It’s just a little softer than I usually prefer my whiskeys. At $46, I’m going to have to say there just isn’t enough punch or richness here to justify a rebuy.

@Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington Good point. I know somebody who's been drinking Weller all his life, but now can't find it anywhere. This might be a good alternative for him too.
Makes for a good intro bottle for anyone into classic bourbon flavors willing to start drinking their whiskey neat.
