Im a fan of Woodford Reserve standard issue. I find it quite good. I really have held off getting this as a lot of reviews state how bitter and over oaked this is. While I do find more oak there is much more to discover here as well. Poured neat, nose is heavy and full with coffee bean, marshmallow, chocolate, urethane and seasoned oak. Rest it and raw vanilla and maple will appear. Creamy mouthfeel leads to rich cappuccino, more chocolate and marshmallow with sturdy balancing oak and mild smoky spice. Finish is cookie dough, vanilla and drying barrel with a touch of char. Slightly bitter but offsets the sweetness and turns into a cocoa note. This is a blast of confections and nowhere near over oaked imo. The extra sweetness picked up by the double barrel approach is splendid for this sweet tooth. Probably the most chocolate bourbon Ive had but its not in a flavored way just a natural progression of the ageing...........Real tasty stuff 90/100
