A single barrel version of WT101? Call me intrigued. On to the review: Nose: So. Much. Barrel spice. There’s also some cake batter, red delicious apple, honeydew melon, and a hint of char. Ethanol 100% absent. Is this a case of the refinement shining through? Palate: opens with vanilla cream cake, nutmeg, apple, bubblegum, and a fresh green oak that is not bitter. Brighter and brassier than regular 101. Finish is spicy and and long, with all the barrel spices from the nose and a little mint that builds over repeated sips, something I’ve noticed is a WT trademark. Mouthfeel thick and chewy. This one is a huge struggle to rate. Let me start but saying this is a damn good bourbon, with no flaws. But ultimately, it’s a tamer, more refined version of WT101. Does that truly warrant a $34 markup? Nope. No way. Nyet. This should be a $35 product. If it was, it would always be in my cabinet. At $57? Pains me to say, but I’d rather buy 2.75 bottles of regular 101 instead and call it good.
