TradeOne Classic.
Three Twists.
Woodford Reserve makes a cracking Old Fashioned. Here are three twists on the classic, one for each corner of the range. Pick your twist, pick your bottle, get stirring.
Old Fashioned Twists
Whiskey, sugar, bitters, a twist of orange. The Old Fashioned is about as simple as cocktails get, so the whiskey does the heavy lifting. We've split the Woodford Reserve range into three and given each group its own twist.
The Grains
Wheat, rye or malt. Same twist, three different moods, so pick the grain that suits you.
Woodford Reserve Rye Old Fashioned
50ml Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye, or swap in Wheat or Malt.
15ml Ginger honey syrup.
3 dashes Cherry bitters.
Garnish A strip of orange peel.
Stir and strain into a rocks glass over cubed ice.

Free Glass & Jigger
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Wheat
Mostly wheat in the mash bill, so it’s the softest of the three grains: orchard fruit, a floral lift and gentle vanilla. Makes a mellow, easy-going Old Fashioned.
Free Glass & Jigger
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye
Built on a pre-Prohibition-style recipe of 53% rye, so expect black pepper and clove over a fruity core. The one to pick if you like your Old Fashioned spicy.
Free Glass & Jigger
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Malt
A Kentucky take on malt whiskey: 51% malted barley, aged in new charred oak like a bourbon. Nutty, toasty and chocolatey, it makes a rich, rounded Old Fashioned.
The Oaks
Double Oaked, Sweet Oak or Double Double Oaked. Three ways to turn the oak up.
Double Oaked Old Fashioned
50ml Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, or swap in Sweet Oak or Double Double Oaked.
15ml Grade A dark maple syrup (or demerara syrup).
2 dashes Chocolate bitters.
Garnish Speared cherries and orange peel.
Stir and strain into a rocks glass over cubed ice.
