Also called Old Weller 107, it is a classically tasting bourbon, high proof, rich, full bodied, and best of all, very affordable.
I rarely drink whiskey with ice, that's just me. But many whiskeys need some diluting, whether with ice or with still water. To fully enjoy this whiskey, make sure you properly lower the proof to release some of what is inside!
I recommend 1/4 ounce spring water, (not tap water, the chlorine and other chemicals ruin the whiskey), to a 2 ounce pour. Give it a stir and let it sit a moment. Now nose it. I get, citrus, apple, apricot, some blossom, very nice.
Now give it a taste. Be sure to take in enough to coat your tongue, and your entire mouth. Notice the fruit forward taste. A nice oak and caramel taste is also prominent. Taste the strong wheat, the vanilla, and a hint of spice.
Experience the finish....this takes patience and proper attention. Crisp, and spicy, the finish is no wimp, very pungent and vigorous.
A HUGE bang for the buck, I highly recommend everyone having a bottle of this in their collection!
*Note: There are as many descriptions for the flavors and sensations experienced drinking whiskey as there are people in this world! Taste what you taste, feel what you feel, regardless of what some expert says!
