Woodford Reserve

Deep amber-mahogany; richer and darker than the standard bourbon due to double oaking, viscous legs

Rich dark caramel, toasted marshmallow, marzipan, brown sugar, baked apple, vanilla bean, honey, and warm baking spice. The second barrel adds pronounced toasted wood notes — cedar, sandalwood — absent from the standard bourbon

Dessert-like richness. Dark caramel, chocolate truffle, cherries jubilee, toasted coconut, marzipan, and deep vanilla. The deeply toasted second barrel adds sweet woodiness and butterscotch depth. Full body with silky, almost creamy texture. Spice is gentler than the standard bourbon — toasting converts tannins into sweet wood sugars

Long, warm finish. Toasted oak, dark chocolate, caramel, and lingering cherry. The second barrel's influence persists — sweet wood and butterscotch fade slowly. One of bourbon's great dessert drams

Rich amber with copper highlights; medium body, steady legs

Dried fruit — raisin, fig — intertwined with vanilla, citrus zest (orange, lemon), caramel, gentle oak spice, and hints of cocoa. A distinctive grain sweetness from the pot still component adds complexity rarely found in bourbon

Round and full. Vanilla custard, caramel corn, dried cherry, subtle citrus brightness, toasted oak, and gentle baking spice — cinnamon, nutmeg. The pot still contribution gives a rounder, more textured mouthfeel than typical bourbon. Clean grain character with a touch of mint

Medium-long finish. Clean vanilla and oak fade through gentle spice and lingering dried fruit. A final touch of mint chocolate and grain sweetness. Remarkably balanced and approachable

Golden amber; lighter than the bourbon, reflecting the malt-dominant mash bill, medium legs

Soft and nutty with strong apricot notes. Fruity and floral with oak shining through. Hints of chocolate and toasted grain. More delicate and European-influenced than the bourbon

Peppery on the front with deep cherry flavors toward the back. Wood, spice, and grain aromas with fruity and floral flavors. The 51% malted barley mash bill creates a distinctly different texture — nuttier, more biscuity, with less corn sweetness. Hints of chocolate and toasted malt

Medium finish with nutty grain, gentle oak spice, and lingering cherry. The malt character provides a cleaner, drier finish than the corn-dominant bourbon. Toasted grain and subtle chocolate linger

Amber gold with copper tones; slightly lighter than the bourbon, medium legs

Juicy and fruity — cherry bubblegum, brown sugar, vanilla, licorice, and mildly sweet citrus (orange, lime). Sweet musty oak underneath. More fruity and candy-like than the bourbon

Oily texture with dark brown sugar, dried fruits, tobacco, and barrel char. Rye spice builds mid-palate — black pepper, cinnamon — but remains balanced by the 53% rye mash bill's fruitiness. Less sweet than the bourbon but more complex spice profile

Medium finish with lingering rye spice, dried fruit, tobacco, and gentle oak. The rye grain's characteristic dryness comes through in the finish, contrasting with the bourbon's sweeter fade

Pale gold with straw highlights; lightest of the Woodford range, thin legs

Faint and airy floral scents with slightly sweet and fruity notes — baked apple cobbler with brown sugar and cinnamon. Soft and inviting, the most delicate nose in the range

Soft and light with gentle fruity sweetness and mild spice. Stewed apple, coconut, vanilla, and a whisper of wheat grain. The 52% wheat mash bill creates the softest, most approachable expression in the entire Woodford lineup. Low tannic bite with a creamy mouthfeel

Short to medium finish. Gentle sweetness fades through soft grain and light spice. Clean and easy. The wheat's characteristic softness carries through to a gentle, almost delicate conclusion

Deep mahogany-brown; intensely dark from triple oak exposure, very viscous legs

Robust medley of rich maple syrup, dark butterscotch, brittle caramel, bittersweet chocolate, burnt marshmallow, and sweet hickory smoke. Rich dried cherry and cranberry fruit layered with blackberry jam, brightened by hints of ripe apple

Intensely rich and spicy. Chai tea warmth, clove, deep caramel, dark chocolate, and concentrated dried fruit. Distinctly spicier than the Double Oaked — the extra two years in heavily toasted oak convert sweetness into warming spice complexity. Full body with extraordinary depth

Warm and drying finish with lingering clove character, dark butterscotch, and bittersweet chocolate. The triple oak treatment creates a finish of remarkable length and complexity

Deep amber-copper; intensely rich from barrel proof concentration, viscous heavy legs

Heavy roasted nuts — macadamia, toasted pecans — intertwined with black cherry, cherry cola, Gala apple, cinnamon stick, raspberry, cotton candy. Cask strength amplifies every note to maximum intensity

Concentrated and powerful. Caramel, cooked banana, vanilla, cherry fruit leather, dark fruit from tip of tongue to midpalate. Secondary waves of strawberry candy, butterscotch, and spicy cinnamon gum. Peppery baking spice, cardamom, and pine emerge mid-palate. Full-bodied with exceptional richness at barrel proof

Long finish of spiced cinnamon coffee cake, cherry, leather, cedar, and dry vanilla. The barrel proof intensity sustains remarkable complexity through a prolonged fade

Rich amber with golden highlights; the Chinkapin oak imparts a different hue than standard American white oak

Bold and distinctive from the Chinkapin oak — unique grain structure creates flavor compounds not found in standard bourbon barrels. Enhanced sweetness, vanilla, and distinctive wood character from this rare oak species

Full-bodied with the Chinkapin oak's bold flavor and unique grain structure delivering a distinct profile compared to standard Woodford. The rare barrel type creates flavors not reproducible with standard American oak

Medium-long finish with the Chinkapin oak's distinctive sweetness and grain character lingering. A limited and experimental expression showcasing Woodford's Master Distiller craft
