Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Cherry Wood Smoked Barley

Surprisingly I get banana bread on the nose. Not a hint. It's strong and obvious to me. Plus some sap. On the palate, obvious creamy malt notes. It's sweet at first, a bit one notey. The malt quickly follows, some earth notes, a hint of nuts, some dark fruit. Strong dark chocolate, I seem to get that with Woodford offerings. The banana bread is there in the aftertaste. Interestingly, I'm searching hard for the smoke flavor and just not getting much of it. But this stands on its own without it. It's definitely interesting, worth trying. 11/9/17

The sweet that I like. Lots of dynamic flavor goin on, way beyond the sweet nose and initial flavor.
