While I enjoy the standard Woodford offer I have never owned a bottle. The cask strength versions however I have enjoyed having around. This 2020 version is no different. Yes it’s on the high end of what I normally pay but it’s available and on the shelf and I think it offers a unique blend of flavors. I get that hint of cedar, oak, dried apricot, and leather on the nose. It smells wonderful. The palate is not super complex but extremely bold. Molasses, brown sugar, vanilla, tart cherry and sweet oak on the palate. The finish is long and showcases a really nice dose of vanilla, cocoa, white pepper, maple syrup and a dash of worn leather. It’s a pure pleasure of an experience.
