Woodford Reserve Bourbon

I got a pint at "my" Total Wine for $17.99, and it's well worth the price. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it's just a hair short of being as good as whiskies that I have given that high a rating to. The mash bill is 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% barley. It's 90.4 proof, and is dark copper in the glass. NOSE: The nose is warm, and so gentle that if I didn't know better I'd say this was a wheated bourbon. I got notes of apple, butter, something woody that makes me think of a paneled room, roasting ears, butterscotch, and vanilla. TASTE: The mouthfeel is fairly creamy, and it just feels good. I got notes of baked buttered apples, butter, grapes, honey, and spice, but I'm sure that as I work my way into the bottle I'll find more. This whisky isn't giving up everything with the first glass, I don't think. FINISH: Corn and oak - medium in length.

It might be the flavor of the pot still..
