About this deal

Damak :Damakta tatlı ve baharatlı tatların harika bir uyumu var diyebilirim. Karamel, tatlı tütün, bal ve sütlü çikolata gibi tatlı aromalara tarçın, tane karabiber, karanfil ve hafif nane eşlik ediyor. So, I’ll first start by capturing my tasting notes for the Woodford Reserve Rye vs Bulleit Rye whiskey. In a way, it is a clash between two whiskey powerhouses, Diageo vs Brown Forman. Can there only be one champion? Or is there a place for both of these bottles in your collection?

This is Woodford Reserve Rye whiskey, a rye whiskey released by Woodford Reserve, a subsidiary of Brown-Forman. This is bottled at 45.2% ABV, with no word on age or filtering. Let's get to it. The Rittenhouse has a sharper aroma profile, with a lot more tobacco, dry spices, and caraway. The Woodford, in comparison, seems sweeter, fruitier, and has a more solid, oaky presence. On the palate, the Rittenhouse is hotter (5% higher ABV), and drier. The spices shine through, reminding me why people refer to rye as having “spice cabinet” attributes. There is distinct cinnamon on the finish. The Woodford is softer on the palate, with a slightly heavier body. There is more balance between fruit and spice, although the corn shines through here, shifting the experience more in a bourbon direction. The spices recur on the finish.Excerpt: Instead of hitting you over the head with heavy spice and cereal notes as many ryes do these days, these elements relax on the palate, chilling out with some malty milk-chocolate and tangy apricot. This one was well worth the wait. The Service has been prepared by us solely for information purposes to Members and the Service is based on information we consider reliable and we obtain the contents of the Service from a number of different third party sources (including Contributions), but we do not endorse, support, represent, warrant or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of the Services and any information therein.

The Woodford Reserve is softer and more balanced with mixed fruit sweetness. The Woodford spices are milder and less distinctive than the Bulleit. Unlike a lot of recent rye releases crowing about their “high-rye” mashbills, the Woodford Reserve Rye mashbill can only be called “low-rye”: 53% rye (the legal minimum is 51%), 33% corn, and 14% malted barley. Woodford Reserve claims this mashbill was chosen to maintain the house characteristics familiar from its bourbons, and is thus sweeter than most ryes. With no age statement on the bottle and the “straight whiskey” declaration, one must assume the rye is at or slightly above 4 years of age.

Burun : Tatlı tütün, karamel sedir, tarçın ve karabiber ilk aldığım kokular. Bunlara badem ezmesi, narenciye, muz, armut ve yanık şeker olarak adlanladırabileceğim tatlı notalar eşlik ediyor.

Excerpt: It’s hard to say, but the lovely banana-vanilla combination dominates until baked pears, pumpkin bread, rye, and baking spices appear. A medium to long finish brings a bright cherry note. Woodford Reserve Rye presents itself more as a bourbon than a rye until the finish. While not bad, it’s a soft rye, and doesn’t evoke much rye character through most of the experience. Augustus Bulleit produced the first Bulleit bourbon. He wanted to create a bourbon with a unique flavour profile and experimented with varying recipes until he found a whiskey he was happy with. He started his bourbon, which was available until he died in 1860.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.Finish: Medium-short in length. Spicy, with cinnamon red-hots and clove, fading into ginger (candied; dried). Not overly bitter on the finish. If you are passionate about rye, the Bulleit Rye is worth the extra money. However, the Woodford Reserve is perfect if you want to explore rye whiskey to learn new tastes. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. In this Woodford Reserve Rye vs Bulleit Rye comparison, we’ve delved into the histories of these two powerhouse distillers and the distinctive characteristics of their rye whiskeys. While both are excellent choices, your preference may ultimately be your palate and budget. Long and filled with butterscotch, banana taffy and red fruit. Towards the end of the fade some rye spice, spearmint and a light dill shows up.

Nose: Baking spices greet the nose, in classic rye fashion. Deeper in, there is a strong cherry liqueur aroma, plus marzipan, dry corn, and a malty-but-not-too-sweet grain presence. Beneath this is a vegetal layer of mild sweet grass and – weird – dill. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then. Any new functionalities, tools and features shall be part of and governed by the Terms from the moment they are launched and/or available. Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof.

We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose. By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age. There is a big difference in price between the two bottles. The Bulleit is nearly double the price in ZAR. That tips the scale in the Woodford Reserve direction. A great-tasting rye at an affordable price.
