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.
I go plenty on the nose citrus, vanilla, slightly burnt caramel, first sip some burn and almost iodine peatiness which doesnt last long, then vanilla and oaky butterscotch. great long sippin whisky. smelling the empy glass was like toffee very pleasant
Batch: 117 Bottle: 2951 Absolutely undrinkable. Nose: ethanol, actually burns and makes your eyes water. Horrible varnish turps stink. Taste: Varnish. Hint of butterscotch. Semi unpleasant but very long finish of nuts and banana. Cost: way too much. This is not worth £30/$50.
GREAT STUFF
My first proper bourbon, really smooth to drink. If the nose was a glade plug in, it'd be all over the house.
Smokey, oak, butterscotch and apple which is mellow and has a light alcohol scent which is pleasing rather than assaulting It has Generous flavor, complex and smooth all at the same time, Buttery and oaky, hints of apple and spices It is Perfect sipping whiskey to relax with after a long day. Almost no burn, the finish is long and delightful. This whiskey is, in my opinion so rounded, clean and balanced I would be hard pressed to find a better one for the price, I’m extremely pleased! This is one to have on hand at all times -BeerandWhiskeyHQ
