Savor the Burn:

W.L. Weller - Special Reserve

Review & Tasting Notes

"Sophisticated" is the word we used to describe this bourbon, except for the aluminum twist-off cap! A little floral, a little spicy. Not a lot of heat but a LOT of character. This bourbon is a cut above many, but not all.

Nose On the nose, you find notes of caramel and sourdough bread
Palate The palate is rich and sweet with dessert tones of toffee, butterscotch, nutmeg, and toasted wood
Finish The finish is short with lingering floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle
