Detailed Description
Woodford Reserve Five Wood began as standard bourbon aged in a standard oak barrel. Then, that same liquid was finished in four other barrels — Oloroso Sherry barrel, Amontillado Sherry barrel, Ruby Port barrel, and Tawny Port barrel. “This is the first time in Woodford Reserve’s history that we’ve blended whiskeys that have been finished in five different barrels,” Master Distiller Chris Morris said. “The result is a rich taste and a bright finish.”
