Woodford Reserve 2017 Master's Collection Cherry Wood Smoked Barley, 45.2%
Price: $100 ● Issue: Summer 2018 ● Reviewer: Fred Minnick
A bourbon made with cherrywood-smoked barley in the mash. When chocolate and cherries meet, instant joy can only be improved with roasted nuts sprinkled on top. That's what happens here. It's all there in the opening round, followed by toasted oak, tangerine, pumpkin latte, caramel-covered popcorn, and more cherries, from jam to pitted dark cherries and maraschino to cherry fried pie. If you love cherries, this is a must-have.
