Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose opens with an immediate burst of rich, sweet vanilla and caramel, characteristic of Woodford Reserve’s signature oak influence. Layers of dark fruit, including ripe cherries and dried raisins, emerge alongside a warm, spiced backdrop of cinnamon and clove. The higher proof adds a touch of alcohol heat, yet the aromas remain balanced and inviting.

• Palate: On the palate, Woodford Reserve Derby 151 offers a bold, full-bodied experience. The rich caramel and toffee flavors are complemented by deep oak notes and a hint of dark chocolate. There’s an underlying sweetness of honey, with a layer of dried fruits—think figs and dates—interwoven with the spicy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper. The 151 proof brings a robust warmth, yet the flavor profile remains balanced, smooth, and well-rounded for such a high-proof bourbon.

• Finish: The finish is long and warming, with lingering flavors of toasted oak, caramel, and a gentle spice. The alcohol heat from the high proof leaves a lasting warmth on the palate, but the complexity of the flavor profile keeps the finish satisfying and smooth, with hints of dark chocolate and a soft, earthy undertone.
