A sample from dthom as part of the "whiskey transfer program".
Nose: Quite a bit of ethanol punch, heavy vanilla, apple, and raisin. Some background oak and mint.
Flavor: Very sweet but a lot of barrel bitter up front which I found a little off putting. Otherwise vanilla and brown sugar and nothing else seemed to come through the bitter notes.
Finish: Heavy leather and tobacco with rye spice. A ton of barrel bitter that overwhelms everything else.
I don't think that Woodford made a good choice making this such a high proof as some gnarly flavors are coming to the forefront. Kind of disappointing.
