Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Historic Barrel Entry No. 18

Woodford Reserve Masters Collection Historic Barrel Entry #18 is a bourbon whiskey with a rich and complex flavor profile that embodies the essence of its unique aging process. The whiskey was aged in barrels made from wood harvested from a specific section of the Woodford Reserve Distillery's property, where the trees are known to grow slower due to the cooler climate and mineral-rich soil.

This slower growth results in a denser wood with tighter grain, allowing the barrel to impart more nuanced flavors and aromas to the aging whiskey. The resulting liquid is a deep amber color with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice on the nose, followed by a rich and creamy palate of toasted oak, dark chocolate, and dried fruit.

With only a limited number of bottles available, Woodford Reserve Masters Collection Historic Barrel Entry #18 is a must-try for any whiskey connoisseur looking for a truly unique and exceptional tasting experience.

NOSE 

Vanilla bean and dried apple dusted with nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon with a hint of cocoa. Roasted coffee and hazelnut soften into notes of dark cherry and plum muddled with spearmint.

TASTE

Rich toasted oak is tempered by overripe banana and a medley of cooked berry fruits. Hints of leather, coffee, and baking spice trail into minty dark chocolate.

FINISH

A lingering finish of charred oak, leather, and orange oil.
