The mashbill for Woodford Reserve features a high percentage of rye: 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malt. The whiskey is also unusual for being triple distilled and having the lowest proof upon entering the barrel where it matures for at least six years. A must have Kentucky bourbon. Makes a wonderful Old-Fashioned cocktail!
Quite thick and creamy. There are notes of honey and spice, leather, a touch of cocoa, a little smoke, toasty oak and vanilla cream with a hint of butterscotch.
Thick and full. There are notes of espresso beans, winter spice, cereal sweetness, plenty of rye, ground ginger, almond oil, toasty oak and a little rum.
Long and mature with notes of cereals and toasty oaken spice.
Smooth and tasty. Smell it, drink it as it is, no ice or water. Heaven
What's to say? This has clearly been designed as a "crowd pleaser". Bartenders have a description for this which fits it perfectly... "The whiskey for people who think they're too posh for Jack Daniels". It's smooth, easy drinking and unremarkable in every single way. It's the whiskey equivalent of magnolia paint on your walls. Boring, give me something with a bit of character like Knob Creek/Noah's Mill or even Wild Turkey 101.
This bourbon is truly wonderful ! A splash of clean spring water opens up the spicy notes with wafts of oaked vanilla and fresh fruit on the pallet. Definitely a sipping companion when 5 o'clock strikes. Or maybe sooner. Cheers!
Love this bourbon! Great aromas, and taste is wonderful. Just the right amount of a pepper and oak combination. For the money, I think this is the best value out there. If you're going to mix it with Coke, perhaps you can save a few bucks and get something like Crown Royal, but for a sipping whisky Woodford is awesome!
Peppery sweet oak with honey notes and a hint of toasty maple. Was recommended by a friend to whom I am forever grateful as this has become my favorite go-to whisky whilst enjoying a sherried cigar or cubano. Totally worth the price.
