Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Series 15 Chocolate Malted Rye, 45.2%

Coffee and toasted rye bread give this bourbon a bold, direct character, with vanilla and cloves adding some balance. The bittersweet, tannic cocoa-powder finish sounds less easygoing, so it may suit someone looking for more edge than softness.
