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.

    Bladnoch is one of the lowland distilleries and if this independant bottling is anything to go by then it is producing some good spirit.  The nose is fresh, limey and sweet (like a good margarita) with some malt.  The taste is smooth, some malt, biscuit, caramel and vanilla.  There is a spicy tingle to the finish with some fresh wood notes.  Overall... very nice.
