Woodford Reserve 2021 Holiday Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Woodford Reserve Holiday Edition 2021 — the annual limited-edition holiday release from Woodford Reserve: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey presented in year-specific holiday gift packaging designed for gifting and seasonal entertaining.

Woodford Reserve releases a holiday edition bottle each year, in packaging distinct from the standard production bottle, intended as a ready-to-gift seasonal release. The whiskey is Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon — the 72/18/10 mash bill, triple copper pot still distillation, 90.4 proof — the same expression that has made Woodford one of the most consistently purchased premium bourbons in the American market, presented in holiday-specific packaging that makes it gift-ready without needing additional wrapping or assembly.

The 2021 Holiday Edition represents the holiday season following one of the more unusual years in American bourbon's recent history, and carries the annual distinction of year-specific limited production that makes each edition distinct from those before and after it.
