Feel free to follow along with a dram of any of these or any other spirit you enjoy as I try to uncover the aromas and flavors of these 2 spirits. My tasting notes from this episode can be found below:

Spirit A - Old Weller Antique 107 (53.5% ABV)

Appearance

Clarity: Clear
Intensity: Medium
Color: Amber
Suggested texture: Medium

Nose

Condition: Clean
Intensity: Medium
Aroma characteristics: Butterscotch, caramel, vanilla, coconut oil, charred oak, burnt toast with butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried orange peel, Gingerbread?
Other notes: Very sweet and deep character straight out of the glass. Overall, just extremely pleasant and nicely balanced nose.
ABV: Feels like 50%

Palate

Sweetness: Dry
Texture: Warming, moth filling, medium viscosity
Intensity: Medium > pronounced
Flavor characteristics: Caramel, vanilla, orange oils, burnt toast, oak, cinnamon, black pepper corn
Other notes: Typically I’m getting the bitter notes of cinnamon and pepper corn on the palate, and a lot of that sweetness from the nose has taken a step back on the profile.
Finish: Medium > long very complex (black pepper corn, caramel, orange)
ABV: Feels like 50%

Conclusion

Quality level: Very good > outstanding
Blind guess: Old Weller Antique 107

Spirit B - Old Weller Antique 107 La Maison Du Whisky Single Barrel (53.5% ABV)

Appearance

Clarity: Clear
Intensity: Medium
Color: Amber
Suggested texture: High

Nose

Condition: Clean
Intensity: Medium
Aroma characteristics: Butterscotch, caramel, vanilla, charred oak, burnt toast with butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried orange peel, Gingerbread?
Other notes: Very similar nose as expected, but less sweet and more oak driven aroma profile than spirits A. Also feels very pleasant and well balanced.
ABV: Feels like 55%

Palate

Sweetness: Dry
Texture: Warm, mouth filling, high viscosity
Intensity: Pronounced
Flavor characteristics: Caramel, vanilla, orange oils, burnt toast, oak, cinnamon, black pepper corn, licorice, leather
Other notes: More oak and more signs of age/maturation. Also feels less astringent on the bitter notes, more integrated and more sweeter notes coming through on the palate.
Finish: Long and very complex (oak/char, licorice, cinnamon)
ABV: Feels like 55%

Conclusion

Quality level: Very good > outstanding
Blind guess: Old Weller Antique 107 La Maison Du Whisky Single Barrel
