Woodford Reserve releases a new limited-edition bottle as part of its annual Distillery Series – Wheat Whiskey Bottled in Bond.
This new product is the distillery’s wheat whiskey selected from one distilling season and then aged in a bonded warehouse and bottled at 100 proof.
“One of the best parts of my job is being able to work with Chris Morris to experiment with new ways of making Woodford Reserve,” said Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall. “Bottled in Bond whiskey has a long history in Kentucky and it has been exciting for Woodford Reserve to create this wheat whiskey within the Bottled in Bond requirements.”
A line of one-of-a-kind expressions, Woodford Reserve’s Distillery Series pushes the creative boundaries of whiskeys to the extreme. Each selection is masterminded by McCall and Master Distiller Emeritus Chris Morris, there are three annual releases of the Distillery Series.
Additionally, Woodford Reserve has released its annual limited-edition high-proof expression — Woodford Reserve Batch Proof.
At 124.7 proof, this expression – part of the Master’s Collection series – celebrates the craftsmanship of McCall and Morris. Batch Proof showcases the flavor nuances created from the mingling different barrels into one batch and presenting that bourbon at the exact proof from the barrels.
“The trademark flavors of Woodford Reserve are even more pronounced – and more bold – in this celebrated annual release,” McCall said. “It’s a high-proof bourbon with complex flavors.”
Woodford Reserve’s Wheat Whiskey Bottled in Bond is available in limited quantities with a purchase limit of two bottles per person at the distillery and limited Kentucky retailers for $59.99. Woodford Reserve Batch Proof is also available in limited quantities at the distillery and limited Kentucky retailers for $129.99.
