S'mores all day long with this one. I love the toasted, almost burnt marshmallow smell that comes off this whiskey. On the back end, there are rich oak aromas as well. Woodford Double Oaked has always been a favorite nose of mine, and this one is as good as they come!
Up front, you’re greeted immediately with a nice amount of oak tannins that transition beautifully into buttery toffee and — again — s'mores! I even picked up a nice hint of cherry with a cocoa note, like a chocolate-covered cherry.
For the proof, I’m amazed at how long the finish is on this bottle. The oak lingers with the perfect mouthfeel, and it honestly tastes like you just ate a rich dessert and these are the lingering aftereffects.
Truly a phenomenal pour. I’m so happy this bottle is in the program — it’s one that won’t last long, and I’ll definitely need to replace it!
