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 Macallan Sienna 1824 Series

    My notes on this were minimalistic which is usually a sign I like the whisky and I am therefore drinking not writing. I will reproduce them as per notebook for posterity. “Nose; Cocoa, Sweet, Oranges, Wood. Taste: Caramel, Malt, Spice, Dried Fruits, Balanced and tasty. Finish; Pepper, Mint.”
