Woodford Reserve Barrel Finished Rye Whiskey | 375ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Seasoned leather and aromatic cedar notes enhance a rich port and sherried fruit cake character highlighted by a nut and dark chocolate underpinning.
Palate: Warm baking spices enliven in a rich nutty and roasted coffee character enriched by a deep fruit character.
Finish: A dark caramel molasses like sweetness atop a dried fruit lingers on.
