Woodford reserve brandy cask

[morebourbon85]

Anyone try this? I just picked up the last bottle at the local liquor store. Didn't want to risk not finding it again as it seems rare. Thoughts at $90??

I was offered this yesterday at my local retailer; but having been burned on more than one of these 'Master's Collection' (or whatever they're called) from Woodford over the years; I passed.

....On what I assume will be viewed as yet another of their shelf turds a few months from now.    Certainly I could be wrong.    That's happened more than once; but I don't think so at this point.

Please let us know how it is, so many here have been burned by these Woodford Reserve Special releases that we are skeptical.

Bourbon so good you have to put it in a brandy cask for flavoring.

Honestly I haven't cracked it open yet. I haven't heard many good things about these masters collection so I'm considering to return it.

Had a pour last night. Not as heavy on the grape as the Pinor, but of course the twang was there. Almost tasted like rye instead of wheat? To be honest it actually bordered on being pleasant, but as others said it's an experiment-not a tested and perfected great whiskey. I would recommend it for those that don't mind paying up for something different or for those that like a pretty bottle.
