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 malt, honey, dark fruits and a wisp of peat smoke.  The taste is the classic malt harmony of honey sweet, oak wood and smoke with lots of depth.  The mouth feel is creamy and oily and the finish has some tobacco.  With water the nose has some more citrus, and there is more oak and pepper in the finish and a great mouth feel.
