Woodford Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Woodford Reserve Distillery was founded in 1838 by Reverend Elijah Craig and is the oldest Kentucky bourbon distillery still in operation today. Under the stewardship of Craig's oldest son (Oscar Pepper) and master distiller James Crow, the Woodford Reserve Distillery reformed and modernized the process of producing whiskey in the United States — the distillery introduced the concepts of sour mash, yeast propagation copper pot distillation.

 

The art of making fine bourbon first took place on the site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, in 1812. The perfectly balanced taste of the Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is comprised of more than 200 detectable flavor notes, from bold grain and to sweet aromatics, spice, and fruit & floral notes

 

Nose: 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 cocoa. Toffee, caramel, chocolate and spice notes abound.

 

Finish: Silky smooth, almost creamy at first with a long, warm satisfying tail.
