Woodford Reserve Distillers Select Straight Rye

This bottle was labelled #3031 from Batch 0887 and bottled at 45.2% ABV.  The nose was very nice, herbal tea with mint and sweet vanilla notes.  The mouthfeel is fresh, light and oily, bittersweet on palate with more vanilla, candy, black coffee and dark chocolate.  The finish has peppermint, wood and grassy rye notes.  With water it gets sweeter, even honeyed, while heat builds in the finish with chilli spiced dark chocolate.  Overall very delicious; a light and subtle of straight rye.

    The Glenlivet 12 year old

    There is a reason this is one of the world's best selling single malt whisky.  It's fabulous.  The nose is fruity, cooked apples and those famous Glenlivet pineapple notes.  The taste is very soft, sweet and smooth, like a peach pie and sweet vanilla custard, and maybe chocolate.  The finish is warming and has a cigar tobacco note.
