nose : grainy, salted roast nuts , butter , spices , very satisfying . Palate : thicker , fuller , dark chocolate , nuts , sweeter , good amount of heat ,medium to long finish and heat lingers for a while at back palate . Overall : far better than weller special reserve and as good as weller 12 specially extra 4 proof does magic . It sits way above weller special reserve and even better than weller 12 for me ( again extra 4 proof makes great difference ). Wheated bourbon lovers should seek out for this bottle. I’m gonna get 1 or 2 more bottles for reserve .
