Woodford Reserve Masters Collection Maple Wood Finish 2010
Country: USA
Region: Kentucky
Type: Bourbon
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 47.2%
Score: 86 Points
This release was finished in maple wood casks for several months. The maple accentuates the already rich, sweet notes of Woodford Reserve, and gives it a nose of honey, molasses, caramel, apricots, and peach pie. The taste starts off with a cola note, then develops a cinnamon and vanilla spiciness that fades to reveal caramel and maple syrup notes. The finish has notes of maple syrup and brown sugar with a slight tartness. An interesting experiment, but the maple wood adds too much sweetness to an already sweet bourbon.
