Weller C.Y.P.B. – “Craft Your Perfect Bourbon.”
Which loosely translates to: “We asked the internet what it wanted and somehow didn’t ruin it.”

A wheated special release that became a collector feeding frenzy. Because nothing says “approachable elegance” like grown adults hunting bottles at 7 a.m.

Nose: Sweet caramel and florals lead the charge, backed by seasoned oak and a flicker of butterscotch. It’s bright, lively, and suspiciously low on ethanol. Like it showed up dressed well and sober… but you know it has stories.

Palate: Immediate sweetness—peaches, butterscotch, vanilla, caramel, a hint of citrus. It’s basically a Southern dessert tray that learned table manners. The wheat keeps it soft and rounded while a measured dose of aged oak reminds you this isn’t juice.

Balanced? Yes.
Boring? Not quite.

It’s polished without feeling engineered by a focus group in khakis.

Finish: Warm at first, then a tapering spice with light oak and a citrus wink. Longer and more flavorful than you’d expect at this proof—like someone who speaks softly but wins arguments.

Overall: C.Y.P.B. delivers what it promises: smooth, sweet, refined, and dangerously easy to sip. The wheated mashbill keeps everything plush and civilized. No sharp rye elbows. No ethanol tantrums.

Is it worth secondary prices that resemble a car payment? That’s between you and your accountant.

But in the glass?
It’s elegant, balanced, and annoyingly good—like the overachiever that actually deserved the award.
