This was a blind pour in a glen avon glass from my wife without any knowledge as to what it might be.
On the nose I was pleasantly surprised with a chocolatey creme brulee, with notes of caramel, sugary wheat, and hints of barrel char on a toasted oak barrel.
As soon as the whiskey hit the tongue a quick note of spicy cinnamon gave way to a softer, sweeter side of raspberries and thick cream. Oh do I love this taste in a whiskey and it's hard to find. As the palate rounded out, notes of buttery vanilla, caramel, and tobacco shine. After swallowing, the finish is very viscous and pleasant with oak, sweetened crisped wheat and a touch more cinnamon.
Whatever this was, I was sold. I wanted more and I thought, this is one of the better bourbons I've ever tasted. Glad to be told it was something as special as the 2019 WLW.
