"Beautifully balanced and expressive as oak and cereal notes infuse with white chocolate truffle and vanilla, elegantly interlaced with pecans and a subtle menthol character."
Best Bourbon Of 2021 - Breaking Bourbon
"It’s hard not to get a kick out of Weller 12 Year’s rags-to-riches backstory. Once a $20 bottom shelf dweller, it was slingshotted to stardom due to its ties to Pappy Van Winkle, which has also made it a brand many love to hate. Yet, the brand often offers a decent-to-high quality pour most years. Despite the fever surrounding it and subsequent difficulty finding a bottle, the whiskey typically delivers and that is certainly true in 2021. It’s a banger year for Weller 12 Year, offering excellent balance, pitch perfect intensity, and despite being straightforward, nails the classic bourbon flavor profile. Above all else, it’s a bourbon anyone can enjoy.
"The nose feels dense and richly layered as cedary oak and sandalwood incense take the lead, while a deeper dive reveals toasted walnuts, licorice, and cocoa. The palate serves up plenty of sweet butterscotch, juicy grapefruit, and shaved coconut, before drying oak tannins sweep in, delivering coffee and dark chocolate cake on the finish. A supple mouthfeel and long finish enhance the overall delicious impression made by this bourbon. Shows best at full proof." - Whisky Advocate

The deep bronze color beautifully reflects the light. High-spirited, lusciously toasty, and animated bouquet that has top-notch Bourbon written all over it; dry, complex, and toasty palate.
