Woodford Reserve Masters Collection Series 15 – Chocolate Malted Rye
90.4 proof NAS Bourbon Woodford Reserve Versailles, KY $130 70% corn, 15% chocolate malted rye, 15% distillers malt
Nose

Unmistakable Tootsie Roll character from deeply toasted rye grain; no added chocolate flavoring, purely from grain preparation.

Palate

Smooth and luxurious chocolate cocoa notes with no harshness; moves slowly and deliberately across the palate with a gentleman's pace; no dessert sweetness despite chocolate character.

Finish

Long, gentle finish with lingering cocoa notes.

Excellent
A remarkable innovation using toasted grain technique to achieve authentic chocolate flavor within traditional bourbon regulations; a surprising and memorable pour that challenges expectations.
