Woodford Reserve Straight Rye

When I am in the mood for something other than bourbon this is a great alternative. The subtle rinse of rye gives a nice spice flavor and oh so smooth. However, if I am in the mood for a more traditional strong proportioned rye I would reach for something else, but I love this rye for what it is.

This is a good, but not a great rye. It works brilliantly in cocktails, but on its own it lacks a bit of spice I look for in a rye. Its flavour is closer to a high rye bourbon than to an actual rye. 3.5/5 or 82/100

Spicy.
