The 2019 Holiday Bottle
Each year Woodford Reserve dresses its Distiller's Select in seasonal artwork of the distillery itself, and the 2019 edition got "Warm Welcome" — Suzanne Enrique Dougherty's winter scene of the Woodford Reserve Visitor's Center. Inside is the same 90.4-proof bourbon: the classic corn/rye/malted-barley mash, aged at least six years in new charred oak. Holiday editions are annual and finite — once the season's gone, the artwork doesn't come back. Explore more bourbon whiskey and whisky, or shop the Woodford Reserve range at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
No distillery-published notes for this edition; retailer Cask Cartel describes the pour in terms of gingerbread, caramel and chocolate on the nose, caramel-chocolate-cinnamon spice with mild smokiness and toasted oak on the palate, and a burnt-brown-sugar, seasoned-oak finish — third-party impressions.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a rocks glass to appreciate the bottle art and the pour. Keep the box if you have it — holiday editions trade as collectibles.
