Woodford Reserve Straight Rye

Decent rye backbone, but not quite as spicy as some other heavy hitters like Rittenhouse. I get a distinct oaky flavor. Ok as a one off if you want to try something different, but won't be in my regular rotation.

Nose: Werther’s original, cherry 7up Palate: salted caramel, green beans, ocean soaked oak, cayenne pepper, and sherry wine that has been sitting out for many days. Finish: This rye doesn’t linger, it’s in and out - quite dry- but after a heavy dose you can suck you teeth and feel a bit of coating. This rye is interesting to try, but the deeper tasting notes don’t sit well with me- it’s tastes like an aged whiskey; but seems aged more in a way that tennis balls and old sneakers age..
