Woodford Reserve features a high percentage of rye: 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malt. It is unusual also for being triple distilled and having the lowest proof upon entering the barrel where it matures for at least six years. A must have Kentucky bourbon. It makes a wonderful Old-Fashioned cocktail! On the nose, it's thick and creamy. There are notes of honey and spice, leather, a touch of cocoa, a little smoke, toasty oak and vanilla cream with a hint of butterscotch. The palate is full and rounded with expressions of espresso, winter spice, cereal sweetness, plenty of rye, ground ginger, almond oil, toasty oak and a little rum. The finish is long and mature with notes of cereal and toasty oaken spice.
