Woodford Reserve Straight Rye

One of my first ryes - really enjoyed it, spicy but smooth

I’ve been on a rye kick lately. So it’s time to try the Woodford Rye. The nose has an oaky sweet scent with a fruity smell coming through. Now to the taste: It doesn’t hit hard with spice. It’s a gentle heat that gets a little stronger then fades out. Definitely some dried fruit and toasted nuts come through followed by vanilla. Maybe a hint of banana? Not sure. The taste lingers for a good amount of time and changes as you wait. I quite like this in my bourbon/rye drinks. For a normal can find anytime kind of drink. I rank this one quite high. The price point is nice especially for the well balanced flavorful drink you get. I will definitely keep this one in stock on my bar at all times.

Smooth with a spiciness to it
