Woodford Reserve Double Oaked has the most distinctive bourbon nose I've encountered. Banana bread meeting molasses and BBQ sauce, with coffee lurking underneath. It's weird, it's sophisticated, and it's very good. The palate delivers exactly what the nose promises, which is rarer than you'd think.The catch? That 45.2% ABV shows up as thin viscosity, and the finish can turn tannic and watery when you're not expecting it. Inconsistency on the back end keeps this from perfection. But here's the thing: at $60, Woodford Double Oaked punches so far above its weight that the flaws feel forgivable.
