Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Pale gold with straw highlights; lightest of the Woodford range, thin legs
- Nose
- Faint and airy floral scents with slightly sweet and fruity notes — baked apple cobbler with brown sugar and cinnamon. Soft and inviting, the most delicate nose in the range
- Palate
- Soft and light with gentle fruity sweetness and mild spice. Stewed apple, coconut, vanilla, and a whisper of wheat grain. The 52% wheat mash bill creates the softest, most approachable expression in the entire Woodford lineup. Low tannic bite with a creamy mouthfeel
- Finish
- Short to medium finish. Gentle sweetness fades through soft grain and light spice. Clean and easy. The wheat's characteristic softness carries through to a gentle, almost delicate conclusion
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
