Woodford Reserve Masters Collection 100% Rye: Aged Cask

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 93 Points

The 2011 Masters Collection release was actually two separate variations on Woodford Reserve, with one finished in used ex-bourbon casks and one finished in brand-new oak casks. The Aged Cask version has a dry nose with soft spices, honey, floral and herbal touches, along with hints of apples and pears (but also has more rye character than the New Cask). The taste is delicate, soft, and floral with grass, fresh rye bread, and notes of pears, raisins, and cherries that develop in the mouth. The finish is soft and long with pears, allspice, and a touch of honey. Outstanding!
