A small batch bourbon from North Carolina, Weldon Mills is not a shy bourbon. Using corn, malted wheat and malted barley, this lacks a distinct sweetness from the corn, but does offer richer notes of caramel, resin, apricot, light lemon verbena, and almond. It definitely packs heat but that burn is tempered with the multitude of flavors that come from the wood and spiciness of the bourbon. The flavors pretty much engulf the front and mid palate then round out for a lengthy finish. For a higher proof Bourbon it shows restraint and maturity. A Platinum Award winner at the 2023 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge. 95
