Reviewed April 14, 2023 (edited April 15, 2023)Nose is bold and very Brown-Forman with cherry, vanilla ice cream, chocolate malt, cinnamon sugar, orange slice candy, and sweet, subtle oak. It’s mostly sweet, but there’s enough depth and complexity to keep things inviting. Ethanol extreme low. Palate offers some significant differences from the aroma. The cherry is large and in charge, but also brings red apple skin, date, tobacco, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and pumpkin. Finish has tons of barrel char, smoke, maraschino cherry, fresh green oak, nutmeg, leather, chili pepper, and wood varnish. Extremely long. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and could really use more weight and silkiness as it’s just slightly harsh. Overall a nice offering. At $119 (Costco), this is luxurious enough to merit the price tag but at the same time not something i would seek out to rebuy. A lot of the same elements can be had for cheaper with Old Forester barrel strength. That said, I would probably buy other Woodford Batch Proof at this price just for the experience.119.99 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed March 6, 2023Really good, bold flavors. Does not taste as hot as 119. A little spicey, but worth it.150.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed July 2, 2022Great proof for this one. Awesome nose and a palate that is like marshmallow, cinnamon roll, and Swiss roll? Very good. -

Reviewed June 6, 2022 (edited July 15, 2022)Banana cream pie and burnt brown sugar on the nose. The palate shines with banana taffy, caramel, and charred oak. Pretty long finish -

Reviewed May 22, 2022 (edited October 20, 2022)Nice and complex bourbon. Citrus and cherry, vanilla, oak, char on nose. Nice full mouth feel. Salty caramel, burnt brown sugar, toffee, baking spices and long finish. Really good. -

Reviewed March 19, 2022I am finding myself to be a huge brown Forman fan as of late and have been really excited to get into this bottle. Nose: It’s got a rich banana and nilla wafer aroma like the homemade banana pudding I look forward to every potluck at church. The ethanol is not coming through on the nose, but it provides the experience of sticking your whole face in the foil bag of nilla wafers and taking a deep breath. It has a deep richness that I can’t name, but leaves me hoping to find chocolate in the palate or finish. Palate: palate is much brighter than I expected. It hits with laffy taffy and banana runts. Brown sugar and vanilla custard (think cheap John filling) coats the whole mouth. Little black pepper and cinnamon helps balance out the sweet richness. Finish: buttery slickness ends up leaving some sweet vanilla and caramel notes that have an oaky background. This sure delivered for me! Highly recommend this bottle. 90/10099.0 USD per Bottle
