Bourbon

Batch Proof is a highly limited offering from Woodford Reserve, crafted from a standard batch of barrels that is presented before its final 90.4 proof bottling adjustment. This limited edition, Proprietary Batch of Woodford Reserve is bottled at 118.4 proof.

This 2022 Master’s Collection was made with newly-distilled whiskey that went into the barrel at 100 proof. The barrel entry proof of “new make” plays an important role in the maturation process, and the standard for barrel entry proof has changed over the past two centuries.  The result is this Historic Barrel Entry, a rich and darkly robust expression of Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

For this 2023 release, Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall has drawn upon prior creative releases and continued product experimentation for inspiration. In 2014, the Master’s Collection released the first Pinot Noir finished Kentucky Bourbon in history, Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Finish. This was followed in 2016 with the first-ever American Brandy Cask finished Bourbon.

Woodford Reserve Batch Proof is a revelation for bourbon enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled tasting experience by expertly blending the unique flavor nuances from over 100 different Woodford Reserve barrels. What sets this edition apart is its bold presentation at an exacting 121.2 proof, elevating the tasting journey beyond the standard 90.4 proof. Immerse yourself in a symphony of sweet aromatics, fruity notes, a touch of spice, rich wood undertones, and distinct grain characteristics, all harmoniously brought together in this exclusive release.
