Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Chocolate Malted Rye
90.4 proof NAS Bourbon Woodford Reserve Versailles, KY $130 15% rye, 85% other grains (toasted extensively)
Nose

Chocolate is absolutely present and unmistakable right away, with coffee, caramel, and toffee notes.

Palate

Chocolate and cocoa hit the palate prominently with caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. The typical bourbon caramel is present with a little fruit, and some spice on the back without the peppery hot bite typically associated with rye.

Finish

Toasted oak finish with lingering sweetness and complexity from the age and proof.

Really good
An exceptional bourbon that delivers rich chocolate and caramel notes with impressive complexity, best enjoyed neat or with a single cube to open it up.
