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 nose is sweet and malty with cooked fruits and sherry.   Can I smell the sea or is that just the power of suggestion?  The taste is rich and oily, more cooked fruit and some sweetness, dark chocolate, toffee and black tea.  Oak in the finish and a touch of leather.  Not your typical Islay, but still a great whisky.
