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.

    Elmer T Lee Single Barrel

    Another American whiskey named after a person.  Come on USA....it's not as if as all scotch is all named Glen Something or other is it?  I was immediately hit by the nose on this one, cooked peaches, corn syrup and bubblegum.  The taste is very rich, dry and has some cocoa and fruit notes.  A little oak spice comes through at the end, but this one is all about the spirit not the cask.
