Description
Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Seasoned Oak
This 7YO Bourbon was aged in new, charred oak before being finished for 8 extra months in seasoned oak. Staves were air dried for 3 to 5 years to accomplish the seasoning. There’s plenty of wood spice, and I think it goes well with the sweet pot still characteristics of the whiskey. On the nose, the flavors are nicely intertwined. But on the palate, the sweeter notes (caramel, nutty toffee, fig, ripe berries, black cherry) appear first, with the dry, spicy notes (cinnamon, clove, cocoa powder, vanilla, polished leather, maduro tobacco) building to a firmly dry finish.
