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.
Batch: 117 Bottle: 2951 Absolutely undrinkable. Nose: ethanol, actually burns and makes your eyes water. Horrible varnish turps stink. Taste: Varnish. Hint of butterscotch. Semi unpleasant but very long finish of nuts and banana. Cost: way too much. This is not worth £30/$50.
GREAT STUFF
My first proper bourbon, really smooth to drink. If the nose was a glade plug in, it'd be all over the house.
Smokey, oak, butterscotch and apple which is mellow and has a light alcohol scent which is pleasing rather than assaulting It has Generous flavor, complex and smooth all at the same time, Buttery and oaky, hints of apple and spices It is Perfect sipping whiskey to relax with after a long day. Almost no burn, the finish is long and delightful. This whiskey is, in my opinion so rounded, clean and balanced I would be hard pressed to find a better one for the price, I’m extremely pleased! This is one to have on hand at all times -BeerandWhiskeyHQ
We were introduced to WoodFord Reserve at Thapar's party. The stuff belonged to Robert, and before he could reach the party his bottle was opened by other guests and the way Robert felt when he saw his bottle being ripped he was shattered.....so I actually realised the love he had for WOODFORD RESERVE.
