90.4 proof. One of the 2 Master’s Collection releases this Autumn from Woodford Reserve. This is the Oat Grain Bourbon 66% Corn, 18% Oat, 4% Rye, and 12% Malt. This is one of the bottles I bought while hanging out in Southwest Florida this week, and I decided to throw out a review as this thunderstorm rolls through.
N: Maple, brown sugar, vanilla, applesauce, fresh oak, lemongrass, cinnamon, and yes - some oatmeal.
P: Creamy chocolate initially, pears, apple, vanilla, lightly astringent.
F: Cocoa, lightly astringent, tannic, lemon, toasted oak.
This caught me off guard. It has some elements of a fruity Speyside Scotch or Irish whisky. I’m really not a fan of this, but it is fairly unique. It does seems to be a well-balanced concoction as well. No aspect is overpowering. I can see some people really enjoying this and others not so much. I’m in the “not so much” group, but it’s doable. I wouldn’t purchase another bottle to drink for sure. Cheers!
