Competition: Woodford Reserve – The Handcrafted American Whiskey

Woodford Reserve is a Kentucky straight bourbon with a reputation as a solidly exceptional whiskey.

Crafted at the Woodford Reserve Distillery, Kentucky’s oldest, smallest and slowest working distillery, circa 1812, It is also the only distillery in Kentucky today making bourbon using copper pot stills, the traditional method of distillation.

Tasting Notes:

• Colour: Clean, brilliant honey amber.
• Aroma: Heavy with rich dried fruit, hints of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa. Faint vanilla and tobacco spice.
• Taste: Rich, chewy, rounded and smooth, with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa. Toffee, caramel, chocolate and spice notes abound.
• Finish: Silky smooth, almost creamy at rst with a long, warm satisfying tail.

The mashbill for Woodford Reserve features a high percentage of rye: 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malt. Unusual also for being triple distilled and having the lowest proof upon entering the barrel where it matures. A MUST-HAVE Kentucky bourbon. Makes a wonderful drink, on the rocks or in a cocktail!
