Dark amber-gold color. Oily and viscous on the inside of the glass; drips as slow as molasses. There is a little heat in the nose, but quite pleasant. Plenty of wood if you don't let too much escape. The initial aromas are browned butter and Werther's-grade butterscotch. Brown sugar and vanilla creme sweetness that is directly up my alley. There is a little prickly spice at the end: white pepper and fennel. Notes of plastic and mint leaf bring up the rear. The first sip has a nice little burn to wake you up. Tastes of toffee, brown sugar syrup, maple and coffee grounds. They call it Double Oaked and it's earned, with a lot of toasted wood flavor. Spicy salt, pepper and carraway seeds. The sweetness of the malts are in perfect harmony with the spicier elements. It finishes with caramel, marshmallow, toffee, honey and coffee grounds. Just a little bit of solvent/nail polish remover, but it fits with the rest of it. Woodford Double Oaked is simply dripping with succulent flavors and aromas: caramel, syrup, brown sugar, pepper, salt, coffee grounds and lots of toasted wood. At my first sip it jumped up toward the top of my list of favorite bourbons.
