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.

    Glenmorangie The Original

    A classic and accessible single malt, but as I say about many others in that category, that is NOT intended as a criticism but a compliment.  The nose is sweet with citrus fruit and vanilla.  The taste is quite light, creamy with orange, peach and licorice and the finish is quite nutty, dry and crisp, oak wood notes and even some smoke.  Not massively complex or deep but still a great whisky.
