Background: This is a bourbon from Woodford Reserve distillery that has been aged in New Charred oak before being finished in another set of new Charred Oak casks then bottled.
ABV: 45.2%
Nose: Very Sweet and Oaky. Not as much as you would expect. Vanilla and caramel bomb. Hints of Citrus, Honey, and a hint of grain and corn.
Palate: Strong Oak and Vanilla. Nice and oily. Wow is that sweet. Much less oak than one would expect again for the finish. Citrus and honey underneath. This reminds me a little of the Michter’s American but with less oak (makes sense seeing how Michters is sourced from BF).
Finish: Warm, oak and vanilla creaminess that is a medium length.
This is a dessert whiskey, very sweet but a nice treat. Would pair well with dark chocolate. I like the balance of sweet and oak.
Rating: 5/10
