Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Series 13 – Oat Grain Bourbon
90.4 proof NAS Bourbon Woodford Reserve Versailles, KY $134.99 66% corn, 18% oats, 12% malted barley, 4% rye
Nose

Funky and unusual aroma with a sweetness reminiscent of instant oatmeal packets; smells more like an Irish whiskey than bourbon with floral and sweet oak notes.

Palate

Soft and smooth entry with nice upfront sweetness, but feels hollow and watery in the middle; flat Coca-Cola quality that washes across the palate without gripping.

Finish

Slightly bitter on the back end; dry and empty feeling.

Lackluster
An experimental oat-based bourbon that delivers an interesting nose but disappoints on the palate with a thin, hollow mouthfeel that doesn't reward the premium price point.
