The Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Limited Edition #16 is an exquisite creation that bridges the rich distilling traditions of both Ireland and America. Bottled at a refined 45.2% ABV, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a prized addition to any collector’s lineup. This 2020 limited edition, presented in a 700ml bottle, truly stands out for its unique approach to whiskey-making, which pays homage to the methods and flavors of Irish stout beers.
Crafted with a fermented grain mash akin to an Irish "distiller's beer", this whiskey undergoes a meticulous distillation process before aging in oak barrels. The aroma is a symphony of roasted nuts, milk chocolate, orange zest, spices, mint, cherry, gingerbread, and oak. Upon tasting, the palate is greeted with a harmonious blend of cacao, fruitcake, Christmas spices, and malted grain. The finish is long-lasting, featuring notes of mint, chocolate, leather, spiced undertones, and coffee, making it a multifaceted experience for the senses.
The legacy of Woodford Reserve is deeply embedded in this whiskey. The distillery, built in 1838 by Irish masons, continues to use traditional Irish triple pot still distillation methods. This masterpiece was created under the expert guidance of Master Distiller Chris Morris and Assistant Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall, who aimed to honor the brand's Irish roots while embracing innovation. The name "Very Fine Rare Bourbon" pays tribute to the historical practice of auctioning highly-aged Bourbon barrel lots, symbolizing a bridge between past traditions and future endeavors.
This limited edition whiskey combines traditional Irish distilling methods with American bourbon craftsmanship, offering a complex flavor profile that includes notes reminiscent of Irish stout beers.
Yes, this whiskey is versatile and can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing the intricate flavors to fully develop.
