The Woodford Reserve team has gone and made its very own wheat whiskey! If you like your whiskeys to be wonderfully creamy with a good helping of fruity sweetness to them, you've come to the right place. This expression is made with a mash bill of 52% wheat, 20% malt, 20% corn and 8% rye, leading to a satisfying flavour profile that should do well sipped neat or in cocktails.
Soft vanilla and cinnamon, with banana fritters and brown sugar.
More vanilla, now with a hint of citrus blossom and milk chocolate. Still got that banana fritter fruitiness, though with some green apple too.
Lasting chocolatey notes, plus some spiced fruit.

Good initial taste but not such a nice finish. Not smooth enough for me & will not buy again.
Golden syrup in colour, the nose is like a cake shop. Heavy on the barley sugar, banana and pineapple, a bit of citrus zing and a little cinnamon in the back. It's smooth in the mouth, feels quite thick, not too spicy. There's a lime like citrus zing on the tongue with heady vanilla dominating alongside a little latte coffee like bitterness which is not unpleasant when mixed with the dominant vanilla and cream notes. The finish is reasonably long, that citrus zing lingers with a thick mouth coating of that latte like creaminess and sweetness of vanilla. One for those who like a sweeter smoother whiskey with a bit of fruity kick. Certainly one I will be coming back to.

Delicious,my favourite Woodford
Ok so after being able to get my hands on some Weller 12’s and some reserves I’ve been looking for a more accessible wheater. This definitely does it! Nose: Classic, classic wheat fragrance that has that almost mint like lightness. Palate: Rich, toasty, slight oil, slight oak, big perfume and well balanced spice! Finish: Dry, still that minty lightness in the perfume. Turns cereal after a minute or two. This does even better when you leave it breathe. Great drink though this is definitely my favourite bottle from WR.
