Intro:
This is a private selection of Old Weller Antique. It is non-chill filtered.
-
Nose:
Honey, tobacco, sweet cream. Corn syrup, toffee, tobacco, some rich pepper. Some ethanol and some peanut brittle. Not at all funky, leaning towards sweet.
-
Taste:
Medium to thick mouth feel. No real heat. Sweet honey, light fruits, toffee. Diminished cinnamon compared to most OWA, with tobacco, pepper, and light earthiness.
-
Finish:
Long, rich, not a lot of heat here either. Lots of sweet dessert-y notes like waffle cone, caramel, vanilla cream and some pepper and oak. The oak presence helps offset the sweets without dipping into the red hots cinnamon territory that I dont enjoy in OWA.
-
Overall:
This is really a very nice selection. I put this up there with a Plumpjack pick I had many months ago. This accentuates the things I enjoy about OWA selections and suppresses the things that make me dislike OWA in general.
