Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Classic Malt Whiskey. Kentucky, United States. ABV: 45.20%. Tasted at Print Hall, $0 courtesy of my mate Wags.
Colour: Like a pale lager.
Nose: Like sticking your nose in a bag of fresh corn chips. Freshly hewn sawdust. My mate Nathan had a sip and got fresh baked bread.
Palate: Sweet hay-like flavours. Oily mouthfeel, smooth entry but then the flavour complexity seems to develop as the warmth builds.
Finish: Aniseed. Tingle on the front of the palate and lips.
Comments: Prior to Whisky a Day, I never really dabbled much in American whiskies, but I’ve been impressed and surprised when tasting my fair share so far this year. This one was much lighter than others I’ve tried before, but it’s always good to continue to expand and experience more. May the research continue!
