Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked Bourbon (Summer 2015)

I am a bit surprised by the expert's review for this because I found my taste of this to be somewhat magical. Experienced at a tasting event, this managed to set itself apart despite a sea of other quality bourbons. I absolutely loved this for it's smooth, subtle chocolate notes, like a dark cacao tea with a hint of brown sugar. I also noticed an interesting chalkiness to the mouthfeel that was quite pleasant. This gets high marks for it's uniqueness, silky texture, and discernable refinement

Not much of a nasal, has more of a generic whiskey smell. Has a fruity and floral taste going down with a slight caramel taste in the back of the throat. There’s warmth when it hits the belly but isn’t spicy going down.

smooth

Smooth with hints of vanilla and citrus

Polarizing flavor. I like double oaked, this is WAY too sweet for my liking. Found it hard to finish.
