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.

    Wild Turkey Rare Breed
    The nose has lots of complexity, polished wood, fruits (ripe strawberries) vanilla and at 50% ABV the alcohol can be detected as well.  The taste is powerful and warming.  More juicy fruits and sweet like black cherries and chocolate.  Really rich like a liqueur chocolate.  The finish is quite peppery and dry with some tobacco notes.  This is one of my favorite bourbons so far, absolutely delicious.
