Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Five Malt

Four barley types—two row pale chocolate kiln coffee and Carafa—and malted wheat; aged 6 months in used Woodford Reserve Double Oaked barrels. Initial pungency and varnish. Then freshly-cut grass petrol wood shavings and a slight hint of chocolate. New make mouthfeel. A hint of honey and milk chocolate is quickly overtaken by an astringent finish. In another few years maybe this will become more palatable but this is far from ready and bourbon remains this distiller’s strong suit. 375ml
