Woodford Reserve Straight Rye

This is one of those whiskies that’s great for the holidays just because of how spicy and perfume-like it is. These jump out of the glass when you smell it. You get this beautiful cascade of perfume, spices, and potpourri. It’s truly quite beautiful. On the palate you get the warm vanilla from the wood followed by rich spiciness from the rye. The finish is beautifully smooth and elegant and leaves this wonderfully floral and fruity notes in your mouth. I’m more used to bourbon and Scotch, but for something different to turn to that has a bunch of flavors and richness, this is the way to go.

Smooth for a rye

Smooth, spicy, delicious.
