Woodford Reserve Masters Collection 100% Rye: New Cask

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 92 Points

This is one of the two whiskies that make up the 2011 Masters Collection release, and was finished in new oak casks (the Aged Cask version was finished in previously used casks). The nose is up front, clean, and soft with roase petals, grass, caramel cola, and vanilla. The taste has delicate spices, caramel, vanilla, rose petals, soft rye bread and a touch of nuttiness. The finish is long, soft, and lingering.
