WOODFORD RESERVE Four grain 46,2%


Nose:
Very dry and floral. Violets. Old-fashioned candy store. Dr. Pepper? Very un-bourbonlike but not reminiscent of anything else, either.




Palate:
Enormously mouthfilling. Cherry sweetness. Strawberry marmalade. Chewy oak. A tad metallic (copper?).





Finish:
Complex spicy oak and honey sweetness.


Comment:
From the revamped Woodford Reserve distillery at Glenn´s Creek (formerly known as Labrot & Graham). A much needed individual voice for the American whiskey industry. Haven´t seen it as of late. Hope they haven´t stopped making it.

Rating: 8,5/10
