Woodford Reserve Straight Malt

Intrigued more by how this morphs from scotch to Bourbon as it finishes.Was impressed by the balance but I'm sure whether Id personally buy a bottle. Purists stay away for both scotch and Bourbon alike!

I was at Woodford Reserve a few years back when they released this. they only had it at the distillery at the time and when I tried it, I was blown away with how flavorful and how mellow it was. It really peaks out with the sweet baking notes. My wife is not really a bourbon or whiskey drinker but she loves this stuff because of the sweetness.

On the nose there is sweet corn, lots of pleasant malty and cereal notes and a solid showing of oak and vanilla. The palate morphs along the way, crazy! Chocolates, mild vanilla, some baking spices and hint of classic bourbon notes and ends with a hit of cinnamon. The rye feels heavier than 2%. Mouth feel isn't too heavy. Finish is short and leaves something to be desired. Overall, my favorite Woodford offering! Their bourbon hasn't been great the past few years in my opinion, but this is awesome! It'd be a perfect bridge for people interested in traveling/dabbling between bourbon and scotch! Instantly a new favorite!
