Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Super Seasoned Oak (Series 22)
100.4 proof 9 years Bourbon Woodford Reserve Versailles, KY $179.99 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley
Nose

Distinct bakery-driven sweetness with prominent cinnamon and apple turnover character. Brown sugar and sweet spice notes with subtle vanilla undertones.

Palate

Apple crumble and cinnamon carry over from the nose with emerging raisin and dark fruit. Chocolate and cocoa develop mid-palate. Dry and tannic notes provide structure and counterbalance to the sweetness.

Finish

Short to medium finish with lingering spice and slight burn. The sweetness from the nose does not fully carry through to the finish.

Satisfying
An experimental exploration of extreme oak seasoning that delivers unique bakery-forward character, though the finish drops off more quickly than expected for a whiskey of this caliber.
