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.
I enjoy Scotch, Rye and Bourbon and tried this one for the first time. Popping the cork immediately gives you the oaky and toasted notes that are soon transferred to the palette with the sweetness of caramelized nuts. Amazingly Brourbacious!
I have tried many scotch, but this is the reason that made me switch to bourbon.
It is my first top Bourbon after JD and JB stuff. I love this one and I will buy it again.
I would not typically consider myself a connoisseur, but I have sampled many whiskeys over the years. I really can't believe it's taken me this long to try Woodford Reserve. Amazingly smooth… And perfect on the rocks. I have found my new drink. Love the taste and the classy look of the bottle.
Oak campfire, potpourri, pinecone, burnt caramel, vanilla, sweet decadent honey, spices. My first bourbon, the closest thing to this I've had is the Nikka All Grain. It's an amazing dram (drinking neat) full of oak wood campfire, potpourri, winter spice, and sweet decadent honey. I can't believe I only paid $25 for the bottle!
