Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whiskey
Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whiskey is Kentucky craftsmanship at its most refined. This 750ml Kentucky straight bourbon is bottled at 45.2% ABV (90.4 proof) and built on a high-rye mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, distilled at the historic Labrot & Graham distillery in Versailles, Kentucky.
Woodford Reserve is famous for its depth — the distillery's own flavor wheel identifies more than 200 flavor notes in every bottle, from dried fruit and vanilla to tobacco and spice. It anchors the premium shelf of our bourbon whiskey collection and belongs in the same conversation as the greats of our whiskey collection.
Tasting Notes
Rich dried fruit and orange peel open into vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, with rye spice, cocoa, and a whisper of tobacco on the long finish. Full-bodied yet remarkably balanced.
