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.

    Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban

    A light nose, like a distant memory of a christmas past with dried fruit, port, chocolate and citrus fruit. A little leather note in nose. The whisky is quite tannic and stringent in the mouth, red wine and dark chocolate in the taste with a long warming finish and curious taste of newspaper at the end.
