Trying some WCC Persian Slipper in a CAO meer with a a phenomenal old fashioned my wife made for me. She's a professional bartender and knows her stuff. Weller wheated Bourbon with simple syrup she made from with pure cane sugar and a large section of orange peel with no white pith on it. mmmm

I wasn't sure about this blend at initial light but in less than a minute it really settled in. It's hard to describe this early on but there's a wonderful light sourness without it being overdone and a nice hint of sweetness.

At this point I'm convinced that if WCC makes a blend I don't like it's just my tastes and they don't make a bad blend!
