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.

    Cardrona Single Malt new make

    The nose is not overpowered by alcohol (sample was 66% ABV) and contains fresh baked bread and Ovaltine maltiness. The taste is rather hot and spicy with more malt, grains and a little linseed oil note. Someone has been oiling their cricket bat in the bakery? The finish is short with Trebor Extra Strong peppermints. With water it gets a little sweeter and even a hint of fruit along with the malt.
