Smooth. Crisp. Tasty. This whisky defies the odds and produces one of the best tastes and finishes combinations that I've had in quite some time. The bottle promises caramel and honey and certainly delivers. You can smell the honey and when at room temperature you can taste the caramel. This whisky is so drinkable it's almost dangerous. With its less than harsh smell and little to no after taste, this is a bourbon you could share with a non-whisky drinker. I was pleasantly surprised with this throughout the whole experience. I recommend Weller Special reserve and give it a 9/10.

Weller, specifically W.L. and Pappy, have offered a superior product which, by all counts, has withstood the test of time. One of the smoothest, most refreshing whiskeys I have had in a long while. Political views and American history notwithstanding, Weller has a superior product. The subtle hint of honey was a substantial and welcomed partition of a Bourbon concoction. I didn't taste the caramel but it doesn't matter. All things considered, I formally, and respectfully give Pappy and Weller a heart 9.5/10 Classic Games In Progress: Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage Classic Games Beaten: The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Have some idea on what game we should play?
