I've been a little too busy to write reviews over the past few months, so this will be me knocking off the rust. Here's my 3rd entry from Woodford Reserve. Let's get into it. Nose: Very sweet. Caramel, brown sugar, maple, and vanilla. Pecan and toffee. Loads of oak, as the name would suggest, but not a hint of spice or ethanol. Barrel char. Milk chocolate and graham cracker. Butterscotch. Palate: Raisin, milk chocolate, toffee, butterscotch, and cocoa. Caramel and vanilla. Some dry red fruit and dried apricot. Black pepper, clove, nutmeg, and once again, loads of oak. Graham cracker and barrel char. Finish: Barrel char and a rare sun-dried tomato note. Caramel and vanilla. Black pepper, clove, nutmeg, and oak. Cashew and almond. Moderate length. If it makes any sense, I'd say this is the semi-sweet wine equivalent of bourbon. It's one of the sweetest bourbons I've had, but it's a natural sweetness rather than coming across as artificial. The oak influence isn't anywhere near double, but the second barrel gives it a decent amount of oomph in that department. 3.75/5. it's a slight step up from the standard Woodford Reserve. Well worth the $50 I paid. Good stuff from Woodford.
