Woodford Reserve Distillers Select Straight Rye

This bottle was labelled #3031 from Batch 0887 and bottled at 45.2% ABV.  The nose was very nice, herbal tea with mint and sweet vanilla notes.  The mouthfeel is fresh, light and oily, bittersweet on palate with more vanilla, candy, black coffee and dark chocolate.  The finish has peppermint, wood and grassy rye notes.  With water it gets sweeter, even honeyed, while heat builds in the finish with chilli spiced dark chocolate.  Overall very delicious; a light and subtle of straight rye.

    The sherry influence in this expression is evident in the nose which is rich and spicy.  I get excited because I really enjoy smoke and sherry combinations like Bowmore Darkest.   The taste is sweet at first, then more dry sherry notes appear.  Delicious.  Maybe sample was too small but my tasting note simply says "GOOD".  The finish has more spice and then the peat appears.  A perfectly balanced  great whisky.  Rubbish tasting notes I admit, but great whisky.
