Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
American Rye Whiskey | 90.4 Proof (45.2% ABV) | 750mL
Process & Profile
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is crafted with a pre-Prohibition-style mash bill of 53% rye, 33% corn, and 14% malted barley—offering a spice-forward profile with balanced sweetness and rich complexity. Distilled using a blend of copper pot stills and column stills, this rye is aged in new, deeply charred American oak barrels inside steam-heated warehouses for maximum flavor development.
The result is a well-rounded rye that reflects both heritage and innovation, with deep layers of spice, floral tones, and smooth character.
