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 nose has lots of dried fruits and Christmas spices. The taste is rich, spicy and mouth filling. Malt and toffee deliver sweetness balanced with dark chocolate and herbal tea notes. The finish gets a little oaky and bitter but sustains. These notes based on a small sample and I need to go back and try it again, but I think I had hoped for a little more.
