Woodford Reserve Chocolate Whisper Redux
139.4 proof
12 years
Bourbon
Woodford Reserve
Versailles, KY
72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley
Nose
Chocolate cereal notes reminiscent of Coco Puffs and Count Chocula, coffee bean undertones, toasted coconut, a subtle whisper rather than an overwhelming presence.
Palate
Soft and surprisingly gentle for the proof with You-Hoo and malted milk character, chocolate milk smoothness, whoppers maltiness, and a zippy ginger note emerging on subsequent sips.
Finish
Extended with lingering chocolate and developing ginger spice, high proof presence becomes increasingly apparent with continued sipping.
Very good
A delicious and carefully calibrated dessert whiskey where the chocolate flavor acts as a subtle whisper rather than a shout, delivering silky sweetness and complexity at an exceptionally high proof.
