After trying a few others in the Woodford line, finally getting around to the entry level product. The nose is somewhat muted; feeling like I have to jam my nose in the glass and take a big whiff to get much and then I get hit with some ethanol fumes. What is detectable is orange, dried cherry, leather, brown sugar, and oak. The palate matches the nose well with the orange, brown sugar, and leather dominating. Finish is long and spicy, featuring cinnamon, ginger, and some lightly astringent oak. The downside here is that the astringency lasts longer than anything else so it’s sharp in the wrong place. It's not overbearing, but a flaw nonetheless. Mouthfeel is light. Overall a fairly run of the mill bourbon at a reasonable price that's not terrible but also nothing to write home about. Loses points for a weak nose and overly bitter finish. Better options available for the same price at any decently stocked store.
