Description
Batch Proof celebrates Woodford Reserve’s proprietary process of blending barrels and bottling whiskey at its proof, straight from the barrel. Crafted using the same grain bill and process as Kentucky Straight Bourbon, it offers consumers the opportunity to taste Woodford Reserve in its purest form, unlike the standard 90.4.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A warm and rich aroma of toasted oak, pecan, vanilla, leather, and coconut with a slight touch of cherry soda pop. It’s nicely layered as each scent has enough room to shine.
Taste: It tastes as dark as it looks, consisting of a rich medley of toasted nuts, tobacco, oak, and nutmeg. It’s surprisingly light on sweeter notes that would have nicely balanced the heavy ones. The palate’s a bit one-sided that can taste bullish one minute and gentler in the next.
Finish: Consisting mostly of leather and oak, the flavors quickly drop off leaving behind a dry and slight tannic aftertaste. This is a shame as the palate brings a lot to the table and the finish simply doesn’t follow through.
