Tasting Notes
"Woodford Reserve's Blende Rye defies expectations in the category, eschewing both the typical high spice and big vanilla notes of other brands. This blend is light and bright, with pleasant notes of banana, butterscotch, and oak. Summery and delightfully easy to drink, it's a welcome departure from spicier ryes and worth seeking out in its limited market."
