Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whiskey, 70cl

Product Information

An innovative approach to twice-barreled bourbon creates the rich and colorful flavor of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Elegant yet robust on the nose with cocoa, dried fruit, light citrus and spice. Rich and fruity on the palate with complex citrus, toffee, caramel and chocolate notes end on a silky smooth ending. Aroma: Rich dried fruit, hint of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa,vanilla and tobacco spice I have quite a collection of Malt Whiskies and love them but this was a fascinating introduction to decent Bourbon. Easy drinking with sweet, spicy complexity. My initial reaction was ‘gingerbread’ with brown sugar, honey and spice (cinnamon etc.).

The Woodford Reserve Distillery where the art of making fine bourbon first took place in 1812 is a National Historic Landmark. The mashbill for Woodford Reserve features a high percentage of rye: 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malt. The whiskey is also unusual for being triple distilled and having the lowest proof upon entering the barrel. Taste: Rich, rounded and smooth, with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa toffee, caramel and chocolate It is flavour In another unconventional approach, Woodford Reserve will only select their barrels for bottling on the taste of the whiskey, rather than its age. That said, most of the whiskey in the bottles has been matured for between six and seven years.Eye: A profound and rich caramel coloured liquid that invokes warmth and comfort but with a flash of orange/red that adds to the intense colour. Its amber colour is clean and crisp. While the whiskey is perfect to drink as it is if you want to thoroughly explore all the flavour sensations then try complimenting the whiskey with the following items; The high rye recipe is unusual, but it also shows the commitment to quality, as rye is typically expensive With its notable accolades, it is a surprise that this distillery maintains its small batch practice and traditional methods that closely follow the process instated by Dr James Crow, of whom the brand has a lot to be thankful for. In addition to the classic expression, master distiller Chris Morris produces a range of other whiskeys including straight rye, a cask strength edition, and the fabulous Baccarat edition which spends an extra three years in XO Cognac casks.

For those who aren’t avid bourbon drinkers, Woodford Reserve is certainly a fantastic introduction to the spirit. For a bourbon that follows the tradition and practices almost to the letter, it is a testament to the drink known as ‘America’s Spirit’. For those who are connoisseurs in the world of bourbon, then Woodford Reserve is considered a classic, that matches its history as one of the oldest distilleries. It is an easy, go-to drink which offers both simple pleasure and versatility through its many uses. Why Does Woodford Reserve Stand Out? Chocolate – dark chocolate works best to bring out the spice of the mash. See if you can find the tobacco, smoke and clove flavours.

It is triple distilled, not only does this offer a smooth taste but Woodford distills their whiskey batches in both pot stills and column stills to enhance the flavour, just one of the many steps that help to create a perfect balance. Costco Online UK Limited, UK Home Office, Hartspring Lane, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD25 8JS. Registered in England and Wales No. 8055444 When Prohibition hit, the distillery had to close, but from 1933, the distillery resumed action with the help of the owners, Brown-Forman. Unfortunately, Brown-Forman was responsible for the distillery’s second closure which lasted from 1968 to 1993. Bizarrely, Brown-Forman then acquired Woodford Reserve again in 1993, clearly realising the error of their ways, and in 1996, Woodford Reserve hit the shelves with a bang and have been a big name in whiskey ever since. Unique among Bourbon distillers Woodford Reserve uses a triple distillation method and three copper stills for a portion of its production. This Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition gift set comes complete with a pair of stunning Baccarat Crystal Tumblers.

Cheese – food with high-fat content such as cheese are great at bringing out the woody flavours in the whiskey. So, take a bite of cheese, a sip of whiskey and enjoy the oak barrel characters.
