Product Detail

The latest release in Woodford Reserve’s Master’s Collection is named Historic Barrel Entry due to the fact that the whiskey entered the barrel at 100 proof. In the modern day, whiskey usually enters the barrel at around 125 proof, but in the 19th century, the standard was 100 to 103 proof. Woodford Reserve is nodding to the olden days with this release. Bottled at 90.4 proof, Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Historic Barrel Entry is the 18th Master’s Collection release to date. I

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: An alluring medley of vanilla bean and dried apple dusted with nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon with a hint of cocoa. Roasted coffee and hazelnut soften into notes of dark cherry and plum muddled with spearmint.
Taste: Rich toasted oak is tempered by overripe banana and a medley of cooked berry fruits. Hints of leather, coffee, and baking spice trail into minty dark chocolate.
Finish: A lingering finish of charred oak, leather, and orange oil.
