Woodman's Rockford Barrel Pick 128.9 proof Nose: very bright and shiny powdered sugar and vanilla, a rich oak coming in secondarily Taste: instantly sweet, bright cherry and powdered sugar, then turns in the midpalate as heavy oak tannins come swooping in going from sweet to bitter as it thickly coats your tongue. The rye and malted barley compete for attention, but somehow the barley seems to have more presence. Finish: relatively simple, hot finish that doesn't last long. Shows both the sweetness you get up front and the bitter oak that sweeps over, but quickly fades away
