Darkly hued, like aged amber baked in a bottle, this fourth edition to Woodford Reserve’s master Collection Seasoned Oak Finish straight bourbon is in a class all its own when it comes to not only flavor, but its ability to surround you in a kind of fire-kindled warmth. To say this is bourbon worth sampling is the understatement of the year, maybe the century! The nose opens with a lasting impression of spice greatly complimenting its dark amber color, like stained cathedral glass glittering with shifting tendrils of cinnamon, brandy cherries and just a touch of oak. The palate is swathed in more warm spice with stronger hints of oak and classically sweet bourbon over a whisper of candied fruits. Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Seasoned Oak Finish straight bourbon redefines the limits of intensely expressive whiskey, creating a lasting finish that heralds back to the time of frontier-style liquor, strong and memorable.
