Woodford Reserve Distillers Select Bourbon Miniature - 5cl 45.2%

The Woodford Reserve brand comes from a storied past and experience just that with this 5cl miniature. 

It’s distilled and bottled at the the old Labrot & Graham’s Distillery, which started operations in 1780.

Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select Bourbon consists of a mixture of pot still whiskey distilled at the company's Woodford Reserve Distillery in Woodford County, and column still spirits from the Brown-Forman Distillery in Shively, Kentucky.

The exact mixture ratio is undisclosed, however considering the distilling capacity at the Woodford Reserve Distillery, it most likely leans to a large volume of barrels from the Brown-Forman Distillery in the mixture.

Nose: Simple classic bourbon scents of vanilla, honey, and light oak intermingle with light hints of orange rind and graham cracker. 

Palate: Slightly sweet and thin, the palate delivers light flavors of vanilla, honey, and citrus which rest over a thin layer of rye and oak.

Finish: Green pepper, aged oak, leather, and hints of tobacco are all noticeable up front. As the finish lingers, it gives way to a slow burn with dry leather and a slight hint of tobacco lingering for a while.
