Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Nicholas Barrel

On the nose this barrel features a distinctive aroma of freshly baked banana bread that instantly identifies this bourbon as none other than Woodford. Notes of oak, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and orange also appear, creating a bouquet that is both appetizing and rich.Full, rich mouthfeel but it is balanced so perfectly that it also mixes well in cocktails. Super smooth, the flavors of cinnamon, walnut, and allspice complement both the oak and vanilla tones imparted by barrel maturation. Dark chocolate and orange marmalade notes also caress the palate, while a certain rye spiciness adds a bit of flair to the overall flavor profile. In two words, this whiskey is utterly delicious.

On the finish it offers a long, spicy and satisfying finish. Hints of tobacco leaf, rye spice, and mint appear before giving way to oak notes and a subtle and elegant floral before leaving the palate.
