The overall aroma is pleasant and familiar, but lacks enough punch to make a lasting impression. Subtle banana is followed by a soft wash of sweet flavors - caramel, vanilla custard, honey, brown sugar, and oak. The delivery is very even, and as suggested by the writing on the bottle, smooth. As the flavors fade, a nice, sweet aftertaste remains.

Woodford Reserve. Woodford Batch Proof. Gentleman Jack Whiskey starts with moderate honey and graham cracker sweetness followed by charred wood, crushed peanuts, and uncooked rice. Is a gentleman supposed to be kind of bland and nondescript?
