Woodford Reserve Bourbon

Sweet classic bourbon notes on the nose, followed briefly by orange and then a hit of ethanol washes over. The palate has more classic bourbon notes of sweet vanilla and oak followed again by orange. A rich malty note finishes at the end that reminds me of some amber/brown ales. That malty note lingers for a bit with the oaky notes before everything fades from my palate. It's an enjoyable sip but at the same time leaves me craving something richer.

Pretty basic bourbon. Good but nothing stands out.

Nose is wonderful: spearmint, wintergreen gum and wood with some sweet and fruit notes. Taste continues with wood, cinnamon/spice, maybe fruit slightly at the end. Nice finish that lingers. Great to hold in an old fashioned, especially with orange or fruity bitters. A staple to any collection or bar.
