This is the 2021 release of the fairly new line from Woodford, their batch proof series. It comes with the same mashbill as their standard offering but at the highest proof offered yet and straight from the barrel of the batch.
ABV: 64.15%
Nose: Caramel, Dark Chocolate, Vanilla Frosting, tobacco leaf, metallic tinge,
Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel, warm. Caramel, tobacco leaf, black pepper, vanilla bean,
Finish: Medium length finish. Warm and Dry. Black Pepper, vanilla, milk chocolate, black pepper
Rating: 7/10
Overall, this batch of Woodford batch proof is pretty great. Good flavor, nice mouthfeel and finish, it hits all the things you want in a high proof bourbon. Its generally higher than the price of comparable bottles so I wouldn’t seek one out but if you are willing to drop the cash it’s one of the better Woodford products I have tried.
