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.
By far my favorite. It's hot and has menthol/liquorish undertones and is just a damn fine dram. My only complaint is that the finish could be longer, it fizzles out quite quickly. I really don't get comments knocking WR because it is beautiful and doesn't try to blend in with the rest of the shelf.
Tasty...Woodford’s does have a bit of an odd taste at first but the flavour is intense and creamy. I prefer this Bourbon on the rocks.
Sooooo tasty
Unremarkable? Average? OK? Acetone? Paint? That's just idiotic. One of the best bourbons around. Excellent. Taste? Nose? It's bourbon, and good you know what to expect.
Usually I drink the scotch peat monsters Ardbeg & Laphroaig. Yet when at time I gets the sweetache I prefer this from over the big blue to the too sweet too artificially dye (color added) Scotch Single Malts. Among the Bourbons I tried over the years this stands out and proud. Maybe do to the triple distillation in pot stills maybe do to the high qualities of Casks involve maybe probably both. I find this a very interesting and none boring sip. It's got the leather and the cardboard the aceton and while the vanilla/honey notes do exist they are not cloyingly the event nor too dominated. Its sweetness is controlled and balanced with dryness and woodiness. It's a very fine drink to break on routine for me now and again.
