The Special Reserve expression is typically aged for around seven years and is often regarded as a high-quality bourbon for its price point. It’s known for its smoothness and balanced flavor profile, with notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and sometimes hints of fruit or spice.

The “Older Style Bottling” likely refers to an older packaging or bottling design of the W.L. Weller Special Reserve 375ml bottle. The brand may have updated its packaging or labeling since then. However, the bourbon itself should remain consistent in terms of its flavor profile and quality, assuming it has been stored properly.
