I loved the 2019, really liked but was disappointed by the 2020, and now we get into the 2021.
Nose - Somewhat light and balanced. Toasted more than heavy oak or heavy char. Classic woodford vanilla with this roasted chocolate meets french vanilla meet some powdered sugar and yes spice. Then some interesting fruity notes I can't place.
Taste - Spicy vanilla and chocolate, classic woodford through and through. Honestly it's just non descriptive oak smoke and spice that is medium spiced and medium charred. While last year's had some kind of burnt croissant, this doesn't have that middle of the road bready sweetness.
Finish/mouth - good spice lingers but the mouth feel is SOOOOOOOO bad! So thin. Gosh that sucks.
So I'm scoring this 1.75 like the 2020 one. That said side by side the 2020 was a bit richer and better. It had more going on.
Sadly just not a fan of this one. It's good but it isn't what I want from that extra double.
