L & G Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select

L & G Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon, USA

Producer Tasting Note:

Appearance: Clean, brilliant honey amber. Nose: Heavy with rich dried fruit, hints of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa. Faint vanilla and tobacco spice. Taste: Rich, chewy, rounded and smooth, with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa. Toffee, caramel, chocolate and spice notes abound. Finish: Silky smooth, almost creamy at first with a long, warm satisfying tail.

Woodford Reserve is unique in using pot stills to triple distill the spirit, which is thought to give the spirit more depth of flavour compared with a column-still product of the same strength. Barreled at 43.2% ABV in air-dried wood, the straight Bourbon is the flagship offering from Woodford Reserve.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Look for a gorgeous copper hue with orange highlights, a butterscotch-like aroma and soft feel. This Bourbon offers lots of fruit on the palate—orange, apricot, tropical fruit—that finish long, with caramel and a bracing burnt-orange peel note."
