LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

A model of Kentucky elegance. It strikes the perfect balance between the sweetness of corn and the spice of rye, delivered with a pot-still texture that is simply luxurious.

The Library Note

Distilled on the site of a National Historic Landmark, Woodford Reserve uses a combination of copper pot stills and column stills. Their process focuses on the 'Five Sources of Flavor' to create a bourbon that is complex, balanced, and deeply rooted in Kentucky history.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Heavy dried fruit with hints of mint and oranges, dusted with cocoa and rich cinnamon.

THE PALATE

Rich and chewy with notes of caramel, apricot, cocoa, and a well-integrated oak spiciness.

THE FINISH

Silky smooth with a long, satisfying tail of warm spice.
