The mashbill for Woodford Reserve features a high percentage of rye: 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malt. The whiskey is also unusual for being triple distilled and having the lowest proof upon entering the barrel where it matures for at least six years. A must have Kentucky bourbon. Makes a wonderful Old-Fashioned cocktail!
Quite thick and creamy. There are notes of honey and spice, leather, a touch of cocoa, a little smoke, toasty oak and vanilla cream with a hint of butterscotch.
Thick and full. There are notes of espresso beans, winter spice, cereal sweetness, plenty of rye, ground ginger, almond oil, toasty oak and a little rum.
Long and mature with notes of cereals and toasty oaken spice.
As a sipping bourbon served straight up with not ice or water, it continues to amaze me that (a) Woodford Reserve contains 42-percent ABV, and (b) that here's a relatively high proportion of rye in the mash bill. There is no palate numbing from the alcohol or "bite" from the rye. The bourbon is exceedingly smooth, perhaps even too gentle for some bourbon aficionados. If you've not tried it, do so.
Awesome bourbon! I should buy it more often!
Is as good as. A batons small batch
I was introduced to Woodford about 15 years ago at a cigar smoker. I have been drinking it since then. Wonderful
very smooth sipping whiskey
