Another Woodford Reserve Batch Proof. You know, I don't think I've actually had any Batch Proof that was bad. So obviously, seeing this gem sitting on the shelf at my local Total Wine for SRP, I had to snag it and have a taste. The nose is classic batch proof. Fruity and a little dry. Stewed cherries lead the charge with tannic, toasted oak and caramel. There's a faint little bit of bananas foster in there not unlike Larceny, surprisingly. The palate features spicy, tongue tingling cinnamon throughout. Those stewed cherries are pretty prevalent here, too; adding a tart twang. Some charred oak and a little bit of rye spice keeps things interesting. The finish is spicy and dry. Here's where some rye spice qualities come out with leather, charred oak and cinnamon. Also on the finish, the proof becomes significantly more noticeable but not unpleasantly so. Another great Woodford Batch Proof. I mean really, with each release becoming successively more obtainable, you can't go wrong. This is high proof served up the right way.
