Description

What Nick is drinking: Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Official Tasting Notes

• 45.2% ABV / 90.4 Proof
• Regularly $36 - purchased for $30 for the 750 ML bottle

Mashbill 

• 72% corn (locally grown from Shelby County in Kentucky)
• 18% rye
• 10% malted barley (They say this provides a balance between the sweetness of the corn and the rye spice and nuttiness of the malt)

NOSE - Heavy with rich dried fruit, hints of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa. Faint vanilla and tobacco spice.

• TASTE - Rich, chewy, rounded and smooth, with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa. Toffee, caramel, chocolate and spice notes abound.
  
• FINISH - Silky smooth, almost creamy at first with a long, warm satisfying tail.
