Production Notes
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted from a grain bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley. The spirit is created using copper pot stills and undergoes a unique triple distillation process. It’s matured in new charred oak barrels, which give it the rich amber color and complex palate. Thanks to the natural heat cycles, the whiskey gets absorbed deeper into the barrel, enhancing the vanilla and caramel flavors, making it a highly celebrated premium whiskey.
