Review #1 W.L. Weller Special Reserve
###W.L. Weller Special Reserve
- Setup: Glencairn, neat, rested 10 minutes, first pour of the bottle, enjoyed outside.
- Nose: Sweet, woody, vanilla, caramel, hint of plum
- Palate: sweet, very smooth, sticky toffee, light cherry
- Finish: Leaves that almost rough bitterness on your tongue like you can chew it, rich. (I don't know how to explain this one), lingers, but very enjoyable. Cherry/vanilla comes out more... Smooth but doesn't stick around too long.
- Thoughts: Very enjoyable, this is my first time drinking special reserve, and my first review. I drank it a bit quick as I kept looking for all of the flavor profiles, and before I knew it what I poured was gone. So I'd say i enjoyed it... Time to to pour another glass...
Score: 79/100
- 90-100 - Amazing

Believe this is also my first post to r/bourbon, I'm typically a lurker that just reads, but want to join in on the interest we all enjoy. So figured it was about time to contribute. Thanks for all the great info that is displayed in this subreddit! Hopefully my first review isn't too bad, feel free to criticize or give pointers.
