Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye Review
This 53 percent rye from Brown-Forman’s Woodford Reserve distillery is gently spiced, with attractive aromas and a lingering finish. A notable toffee apple note leads the nose, while sponge cake and banana flavors add richness to the palate. With great depth of flavor and careful balance, this will be a familiar profile for fans of Woodford Reserve's Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
