With it being Hallmark Christmas movie season, this affords me a good opportunity to review a few whiskies while spending time with my wife :) I have been meaning to spend some time with this one for awhile and I only have a couple of ounces left so now is the time! Nose: Asrringent oak or varnish initially, mellowing into vanilla custard and creme brule, but with a hint of orange peel bitterness. Toasted marshmallow and coconut after revisiting. Palate: Surprising spice considering the wheated aspect, alcohol burn. Some good flavours but not coming across as extremely complex and I'm having difficulty picking out individual notes. On subsequent sips, some flavours of cinnamon hearts and spice show up. Finish: Quite long and warming, oak astringency hangs out mid palate. Burnt caramel and a lingering bitterness. I was expecting to taste this and find it sweeter with the wheat vs rye, but for whatever reason, that wasn't the case tonight. I might find this different side by side with other bourbons, however, rather than the whisky cocktails I started with tonight. This is enjoyable and I have never been upset with anything from Buffalo Trace. I would love to compare this with some of the other Weller products, but they aren't exactly easy to come by! Bang for your buck, this is a pretty good deal in Canada at least!
