Softness is the defining idea behind Weller Special Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a Kentucky straight bourbon made with a wheated mash bill rather than the rye found in many bourbons. That choice gives the whiskey its notably gentle, rounded style: caramel appears first on the nose, followed by honey, butterscotch and a soft suggestion of wood. The palate is smooth and delicate, carrying sweet grain, mellow oak and a calm, easy-going character rather than an aggressive spice. A sweet honeysuckle flourish shapes the finish. At 45% ABV, this 70cl bottle has enough structure for a classic bourbon cocktail, yet its honeyed, approachable profile is equally well suited to sipping slowly over ice.
