Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Classic Malt

Two malts: same distillation run same proof but this one was aged in used bourbon barrels. The color is much lighter than the new barrel bottling (also reviewed this issue) a pale straw. Nose is delicate notes of haymow planks clover honey fresh grain and sweet orange peel. Somewhat pedestrian on the palate: sweet malt dried hay more citrus and a touch of pepper with a somewhat bitter finish. No real flaws but no excitement either. Disappointing.
