Peanut and burnt caramel. Minimal ethanol even with fresh cork pop. Nose is better than palate. I get the ethanol and some youth and burn but peanut still punches through. I think a few more years and this release could be dangerously good.
To be honest it’s been a while since I’ve had a neat pour of higher proof bourbon and personally after a week or two of not having something high proof my tolerance wanes a bit. Regardless, I still wanted a special pour today so the choice was pretty obvious.
Lot B smells thick, rich, and premium. Grape and caramel apple on the nose tonight. Oh yea all aboard the flavor train every time I take a sip. Nice blend of properly aged oak and sweetness. And since it’s lower proof, it’s very inviting and pleasant to drink at the cost of some more dynamic flavor and finish. Hits the spot tonight.

This tried and true bottle has been a staple on my bar for years. This bottle can be equally enjoyed by any and every type of bourbon drinker regardless of your experience level. Great sweetness, no ethanol and very balanced. I could talk about this bottle for hours.
What’s one of your staple bottles?

Can’t go wrong with this bottle. Cheers everyone.
Nothing like a good old Woodford on a Tuesday evening after LDW
May wine Manhattans with 2 New York Bourbons, Baby Jane from Widow Jane, and Duchess Reserve from Taconic and New Yorks on Brotherhood Winery's Strawberry May Wine.
