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.

    High West Silver Western Oat

    Here is a rarity.  Hgh West make their white whiskey (again targetting the bar and cocktail scene) from oats.  So this is actually an oat whiskey and probably the only oat whiskey I have ever tasted.  The nose has bubble gum, lemon and a oily note.  The taste is basically the bite of alcohol you would expect in white whiskey but also a little candy note (similar to the bubblegum in the nose).  The finish is quite clean and even a little herbal.  As white whiskey goes it is not the worst I have ever tried.
