Details:
Fully matured Woodford Reserve bourbon finished in sonoma-cutrer pinot noir barrels
90.4 proof
Color: Deep red
Nose: A blast of red fruits in the form of cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. In addition to some burnt caramel and oak, there is a heavy dose of baking spices in the form of clove and cinnamon.
Taste: Consistent with the nose, this is an extremely fruit forward whiskey. Fruit punch, cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. Underneath are layers of spice and oak sweetness.
Finish: Medium in length (though quicker than anticipated), with a warm, fruity and oaky character.
Conclusion: I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and character of this whiskey. The fruit and spice characters compliment the other nicely to combine for a complex, warming, and fruit forward experience. My hat goes off to Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Chris Morris, as he hit the nail on the head with this release.
My Rating: B+ (Very Good)
