Decided to break up the high proof month with my old faithful Weller 12. Such a great combination of bright and well aged oak.
Every sip brings a smile to my face. Low proof yes but so much flavor. This bottle is perfect for what it is. Sweet oak covers my palate and right away and right away I get a thick and syrupy sweetness. It does go away quite fast and very thin finish but for a bottle that retails under $40-50 and that’s under 95 proof you can’t ask for more. Spectacular.

Keeping the high proof bottles coming with last years Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C923. A big fan favorite and for good reason. Smells like fresh honey roasted peanuts that are irresistible from those street vendors. Dark oak and caramel as well. No ethanol but bursting with flavor.
Oh man such rich oak flavor but not too oaky. This bottle is a great ride. Like a sports car on a Friday night. Lots of horsepower, bold and loud. A tad rough around the edges with some ethanol but so much flavor to take from it. Long finish as well.

First time trying EH Taylor small batch and I gotta say I'm very impressed.
Spooky season is here! JD 12 is one of those mood bourbons that screams fall. A deep dark toasted caramel on the nose and a nice outdoor hike with leaves on the ground and a fire pit. Very dark flavors. Vanilla frosting.
Dark toasted oak overwhelms the palate without it being too oaky. Tastes like a double oak/ toasted toasted bourbon. Super rich flavor, minimal ethanol, thick and syrupy mouthfeel and long finish. I love this bottle.
