Woodford Reserve Holiday Edition Bourbon 2022
Woodford Reserve Holiday Edition Bourbon 2022 is a 90.4-proof (45.2% ABV) 1-liter bottle — the annual holiday presentation of Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon, in the 2022 "spectacle of the senses" golden label design. Inside is the exact same award-winning liquid as the core Distiller's Select: triple-distilled in copper pot stills from a 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley mash bill at the Versailles, Kentucky distillery. The year-specific holiday packaging and the 1-liter format are what set it apart — a gift-ready bottle for the season. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Gift-Ready Bourbon
The Holiday Edition is Woodford's answer to the hard-to-shop-for whiskey lover: the same 200-plus flavor notes — dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, gentle spice — in a golden, festive bottle that needs no wrapping. The 1-liter format means more bourbon per bottle than the standard 750mL. Compare with more bourbon whiskey or the full Woodford Reserve range at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and gentle spice — the classic triple-pot-still profile.
Palate: Rich caramel, baking spice, dark cherry, chocolate, and toasted oak; approachable and full.
Finish: Medium-long, with warm spice and caramel tapering cleanly.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over a single cube to let the caramel and spice open. It makes a polished holiday Old Fashioned, and the bottle itself earns its place on the bar cart long after the last pour.
