I live in the dessert with 0 degree winters and 110+ summers and wheaters don't appeal to me in that hot of weather. I enjoy WT in any weather, neat or on ice, in coke or ginger ale, etc. and it is affordable and damn good tasting. It isn't too complex but there are still a few layers. Really a very well balanced bourbon and that's why it's my go-to
WT101 makes a great bourbon benchmark. There are many better than WT101, but there are far more that are not up to the standards of WT101, even though they may cost 3-5x more money. At $20, it's worth a purchase regardless, plus, 100-101 proof bourbons are right in the middle of most proof offerings, which range from 80-120's.
