Bourbon/Rye #18: Woodford Reserve Double Oak



Woodford Reserve - NAS - Bourbon - 72C18R10M- Sample ($60)  - 45%


Color - Dark Caramel
Nose - Vanilla, caramel, malt, pear
Taste - Caramel, spice, vanilla, apple
Mouthfeel - Medium
Finish - Nutmeg, caramel, apple
Finish Length - Medium
Overall - 3.5/7 - This is a decent dram.  I wish it had a little more abv and body though.  It wasn't complex and sort of boring.  At the price point, I feel it should be upped in ABV or more complex. 


Rating system is price influenced as it is based on my shopping decisions when buying a bottle.
