Intro:
This is a single barrel selection of a popular Buffalo Trace product. Distilled using BTs wheated mashbill, Old Weller Antique is a young wheater bottled at a fair proof, and tatered into oblivion. I seem to really bounce between a strong dislike and a strong like of these single barrels, with some ground in between. Lets see how this one is.
-
Nose:
Big butterscotch, vanilla, cherry syrup and waffle cone. Faint tobacco.
-
Taste:
Sweet, lots of fruit, cherry and melon. Big vanilla at first, turning to caramel. Medium mouth feel. Heat grows with time. Cinnamon becomes prominent.
-
Finish:
Long, sweet and rich. A bit of heat, but a nice pipe tobacco component.
-
Overall:
Better than many of the Old Weller Antiques I've had in the past. If not for the hot cinnamon on the palate this would be a real stunner.
