Then the sweeter side kicks in, with powdered sugar donuts, caramel chew, and vanilla latte coming through. Spice takes over toward the finish line in a hefty, medium finish. Perfect for cocktails.
The taste is mouth-puckeringly dry and sweet with honey and apple notes at first, then a spicy dry rub barbecue spiciness kicks in along with a touch of sawdust. The finish is dusty and dry with a lingering spiciness.
If it were priced a little better - I'd probably buy it. I like that some producers are releasing 375ml bottles - but I wish they'd stop pricing them like 750s and calling them LEs. Oh well.

House Review
Nose:
Sweet clove, cinnanmon, light corn. Thick rich vanilla cream, light mild citrus. Faint cocoa. Really, really reminiscent of many other WT products. From the nose, Id have assumed WT101.
Taste:
Nice and sweet. Creamy vanilla, some dough here. Theres a good bit of spice growing, nice clove is balancing the sweetness. Overall, its pretty rich flavor.
Finish:
Medium length. Sweet and balanced nicely by spice. Its really quintessential turkey throughout.
Overall:
I'll be straight with you all - I'm not sure I could taste this against other WT products and tell it blind. This is NOT a bad thing. Sitting here, knowing it's different it does seem a bit richer, but that could simply be power of suggestion. Overall, I really enjoy it. There's no doubt that it comes from WT. If it were priced a little better - I'd probably buy it. I like that some producers are releasing 375ml bottles - but I wish they'd stop pricing them like 750s and calling them LEs. Oh well.
