Woodford Reserve Chocolate Malted Rye Whiskey

Chocolate malt is simply a malted grain that’s been toasted to bring out more of its sugars, which yields chocolatey flavors in the finished whisky. This Chocolate Malted Rye is crafted by roasting the rye malt to a level that its natural sugars caramelized into a dark chocolate note. Distilled from a mash of 70% corn, 15% chocolate malted rye, 15% distillers malt, this bourbon is bottled at 90.4 proof. Soft mocha, delicate caramel and roasted nut notes on the nose mingle with hints of cedar, soft oak and a touch of fruit. On the palate are notes of toasted rye grain, dry cocoa nibs and dark chocolate spice up a soft mocha character atop a layer of cherry fruit and toasted oak. The finish is lingering and chocolatey.
