Woodford Reserve Distillery Series Blended Malt (2024 Release), 45.5%

On the nose, this limited-edition release shows an inviting mix of lemonade, cut lumber, yogurt with fresh berries, and toffee. The palate ramps up the spice with layers of cinnamon candies, spiced cider, and snickerdoodle cookies, while the fruiter flavors slink into the background, creating a well-rounded and fairly complex sip. As the finish unfolds, rich hot chocolate and cinnamon toast feature prominently at first, with toasted oak lingering as the whiskey fades away.
