Woodford Reserve 2022 Holiday Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L

Woodford Reserve Holiday Edition 2022 — the annual limited-edition holiday release from Woodford Reserve: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey presented in year-specific holiday gift packaging, in the 1-liter format that makes it one of the more substantial holiday bourbon gifts available at its price point.

Woodford Reserve releases a holiday edition bottle each year, distinct from the standard packaging, designed for gifting and holiday entertaining. The whiskey is the same Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon — the 72/18/10 mash bill, triple copper pot still distillation, 90.4 proof — in packaging that announces itself as a seasonal gift rather than a standard shelf purchase. The 1-liter format is a meaningful practical advantage: it delivers more bourbon than a standard 750ml at a comparable price, making it a stronger value as a gift.

For a recipient who already has standard Woodford Reserve, the year-specific holiday packaging gives the gift a distinct identity. For a recipient who hasn't tried Woodford Reserve, the holiday bottle is an ideal introduction to one of Kentucky's most approachable premium bourbons.
