A little background
The W.L. Weller bottles are the coveted “Wheated” bourbons released by Buffalo Trace Distillery with Special Reserve being the lowest priced and most available of the line. It is non-age stated and comes in at 90⁰. Anyone familiar with bourbon know of the Weller line and its relation to the high-end Van Winkle bourbon line. Retail price is around $18.
(Tasted neat from a Glencairn.)
Color in the glass
Light Gold
Nose
Spirit driven, light and fruity…pear, tangerine, pineapple, lemon grass, and slight vanilla
Palate
Light custard, Pawpaw fruit, lemon, and pineapple. Very little oak influence.
Finish
Short and tart with citrus zest, and vanilla.
In closing
I couldn’t find anything off putting with this bottle and for the most part found the light fruity body to be slightly refreshing. Despite the name this is nothing “special” just a solid entry level bourbon.

The Good
- Cost
The Bad

Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess
I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your
blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger
but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for first-time blog writers?
I’d definitely appreciate it.
