Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Brandy Cask Finish

Smells of fermented raisins. I know this is a brandy note but I was surprised at the strength of that note until I read that this has been finished for two whole years in brandy casks. I get some hints of baking spice as well. On the tongue, it feels so silky, really a great experience. But before I can relish that for too long, the spices kick in very quickly, and intensely. Lots of wood notes. It finishes with spice and a hint of dark chocolate. Medium to long finish. The brandy influence is there, but nothing like the nose. Not as complex as I was hoping. But still a good pour. 8/17/17
