Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Straight Malt Whiskey

Detailed Description

Made from a 100% malted barley mash. Both are triple distilled in Woodford Reserve’s copper pot stills. Both are bottled at 90.4 proof. Both are aged around the same as regular Woodford Reserve, 6-8 years. In fact, per Woodford, the two “are only one week apart in age in the barrel.” It’s only the nature of the barrels used for aging that distinguishes the two. Uniquely triple distilled in Woodford Reserve’s copper pot stills, the Straight Malt Whiskey and Classic Malt are two separate 750ml bottles which are individually numbered and presented at 90.4 proof.

Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Straight Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Grass and hay in the background, but it’s overshadowed by clove, vanilla, and oak.

Palate: A creamy balance of new cask sweetness and spice with a rich pear and banana fruitiness.

Finish: It finishes quite spiced and more mellow than the Classic, but still a bit quickly.
