Reviewed September 28, 2018 (edited October 22, 2018)Nose- Burnt brown sugar Body- Sweet at first with brown sugar and caramel. This then becomes more hot into the finish with a black pepper mouth feel. Finish- The caramel flavor comes through more here. Really similar to the OWA. -

Reviewed September 27, 2018 (edited October 9, 2020)Hey these things actually open and don’t just sell for outrageous prices on secondary! This is the new release from the Weller line. Aged 8 years, 95 proof, and stored on the top floor of the rick house. Picked up for $45 Nose: Picking up mostly light fruity notes, more specifically citrus. Not a great deal different from WSR, but the flavors are more pronounced. Taste: Tasting this alongside WSR to keep myself in check. Oh yeah, this is a sweet one. Cherry, caramel, and vanilla are the three main players in this one. Mint follows behind them all as a secondary player. Finish: This is where CYPB blows WSR out of the water. Whereas WSR has a pretty short finish, CYPB has nice caramel notes that linger on for awhile after swallowing. Again, mint notes follow behind, but the caramel is the leading flavor. Overall: Yeah this is good. I’d grab this all day for $45, but definitely not for the $350 it’s been going for on secondary. Probably my favorite of the Weller line, granted I didn’t care for W12 too much. Cheers! -

Reviewed September 22, 2018 (edited September 29, 2018)Original tasting notes from 2018 for the first release: This is a case of “don’t meet your heroes.” A disappointment when held against both Antique 107 (especially great store picks) and the 12 year. The nose is its best quality, fruity, sweet, inviting. On the palate, an herbal licorice, oak, and hint of leather, but short of the 12 year’s depth. Short finish. Updated 2021: This year’s release is much improved.10.0 USD per PourAntioch Fine Wine & Liquors
