Nose/Floral - mellow oak, some citrus, light ethanol Sweet - mild maple, more astringent than sweet Nutty - almond Spicy - cinnamon Earthy - anise Smoky - no Woody - surprisingly for the age, it’s got more oak Fruit - some orange Color - pale gold Palate - nice spice up front, more savory, grain shows through to some extent Finish - persistent, nice mid palate Value - good QPR Overall - bottle killed. Enjoyable pour, but with everything going towards Weller Full Proof I do enjoy the higher proof on those picks more

One of my other favorite 107 picks, compared to the standard bottle has more depth, oak and caramel. Red hot cinnamon notes really stand out and better finish/length than the standard bottle.

Oak, cedar, orange central. So tannic but delicious. Hot fire

Super oak forward and astringent. Less citrus and more heat.
