Tasting Notes

"Woodford Reserve's Toasted Oak Rye offers up an aromatic nose of caramelized bananas foster. It has a very nice rye spice, drinking a bit hotter than its 86 proof suggests. Its heat is balanced by a significant vanilla presence, and its finish is long and warming. This is a hard to find release, but fans of big, spicy ryes are likely to find it worth the effort."
