The Master Collection is Woodford Reserve’s limited edition “experimental” series that often plays with different mashbills and/or cask finishes. In this case, they decided to take a cue from Scotland and produce a 100% malted barley. Like much Scotch, this one is aged in used bourbon barrels.

Woodford Reserve 2013 Master’s Collection Classic Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: It starts with a grassy, earthy scent, lots of green notes, and a hint of musty hay bales. It’s pleasantly fruity, though not a terribly complex aroma.

Palate: The whiskey’s texture is thin but creamy, with heavy golden malt dominating faint hints of honey and heather. It also tastes a bit young, with the alcohol presence fairly noticeable.

Finish: The finish is short and falls off quickly, with leaving just a mild impression of oak spices.
