Woodford Reserve

Medium brown colour with a darkish-orange tinge.  The nose includes oak and an orange touch.   On the palate here is orange, wood, a herbaceous undertone with touches if iris, grain, a subtle spiciness, prunes, pipe tobacco and lots of vanilla towards the end.   This is rather a smooth, even creamy whisky that might lack some nuances, but it is rich and intense.  I get a finish of sixty seconds. 

 

Not a fancy or pretentious drop, but a very decent Bourbon it is indeed.  3.75/5
