Review #417; Bourbon #106: Weller Full Proof Single Barrel

7 Year

I tried this blind, so keep that in mind while reading these notes.

This is a 7ish year old WFP private barrel, bottled for a private group.

ABV: 57% ABV

Nose: Brown Sugar Bomb, Ethanol, oak spice, pepper, tobacco leaf, light funk.

Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel. Warm, Pepper, Brown Sugar, Caramel, nice oak structure, slight funk, vanilla cream.

Finish: Long finish. Warm and moist, good oak spice, tobacco leaf, brown sugar, black pepper.

Rating: 8/10

Guess: Well balanced, and hits the savory notes I like in bourbon with just the right amount of sweet. High proof as well so I would guess Cask Strength. 10+ years old, 55-58% abv. Four Roses PS?

This was revealed to be the WFP Private Select Well I was good on the proof but way off on the age and producer. Still this was fantastic and would love to drink this particular barrel all day.
