Weller 12 Year
From: The Whiskey Reviewer
The liquid has a bronzed look in the glass, not really copper but not actually full-on amber either. The coat dropped a few tears, not really viscous but not running with them either.
The scent combines thick vanilla and caramel with a blackberry jam fruitness, accented by leathery, hoary oak. The aroma would really come across as rather older than the age statement suggests, actually, were it not for the berry current, which is an oddity in and of itself. Usually the fruit in a wheated bourbon comes across as citrusy, but with Weller 12 it has always struck me as being berries.
The flavor profile runs along exactly the same lines as the scent, with just the one exception. Once it's off your nostrils and on your tongue, the woody side turns a bit dry. That dryness runs into a soft-but-spicy finish.
Overall, it's balanced, flavorful and somewhat sophisticated. It's an outstanding example of how much you can get out of a middle aged wheated bourbon. It is still over-hunted and over-hyped, but perhaps not actually overrated.
