The Holiday Tradition Continues
Every holiday season, Woodford Reserve dresses its flagship bourbon in a limited-edition bottle, and the 2026 edition continues the tradition in the larger 1L format — the size built for entertaining and gifting. This year's design wraps the bottle in a winter scene of the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery, snow settling over the stone warehouses of Versailles. Inside is the same small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon: the 72% corn / 18% rye / 10% malted barley mash bill, copper pot-still and column-still distillation, and maturation in new charred American oak that delivers the signature balance of rich sweetness and refined spice. Once the season passes, the bottle is gone — it never returns. Browse more Woodford Reserve at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, cocoa, and toasted oak.
Palate: Honey, dark chocolate, cinnamon, roasted nuts, and peppery rye spice.
Finish: Long, warming, and sweetly spiced with toasted oak.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a single large cube for slow sipping by the fire. The 1L format shines in holiday bourbon whiskey cocktails — an Old Fashioned or a winter Manhattan — where the high-rye spice holds its own against bitters and vermouth.
