This is my first woodford distillery series release beyond the Masters Collection and Batch Proof offerings. Enjoyed neat.
Nose - toasted marshmallow, peanuts, buttercream, and hints of caramel and cinnamon.
Palate - buttercream and whipped vanilla icing start on the front. Cinnamon and peanuts hit at the mid palate. There is a slight oak astringency on the back end. There is also a malt note on the backend. I wish it was more akin to a chocolate whopper note, but it just tastes malty on its own.
Finish - the finish is muted and short. Marshmallow, caramel, and a baking spice/cinnamon note remain.
Overall thoughts - I consider myself a fan of Woodford products. There have been a couple times i’ve pulled this bottle out and enjoyed it more than this time. This is not my favorite offering I’ve tried, but still one I enjoyed.
