Woodford ReserveMaster's Collection Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Batch Proof)

This bourbon is a part of Woodford Reserve's esteemed Master's Collection, showcasing the brand's dedication to craftsmanship and innovation. The 2020 release of the Batch Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a high-proof expression, offering a robust and intense experience for whiskey enthusiasts. It is crafted using the same grain bill and process as the standard Woodford Reserve Bourbon but bottled at a higher proof, which amplifies its flavors and complexity.

On the nose, this bourbon presents a rich bouquet of aromas, including caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, complemented by hints of dark chocolate and dried fruits. The high proof accentuates these scents, making them more pronounced and inviting. As you take your first sip, the palate is greeted with a harmonious blend of sweet and spicy notes, featuring caramelized sugar, baking spices, and a touch of pepper.

The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of oak and spice. This bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its intricate flavors. It is a testament to Woodford Reserve's ability to create a bold yet balanced spirit that appeals to both seasoned bourbon drinkers and those new to high-proof expressions.
