Bottling Notes

Each year, Master Distiller Chris Morris releases a special edition, experimental whiskey as part of their Master’s Collection series. The approach sees slightly different flavour profile introduced by slightly manipulating the whisky making process. In this edition, the bourbon has been finished in ex-brandy casks.

Brown Forman (Owners of Woodford Reserve) comment:
“Brandy, a spirit distilled from wine or fruit, is often aged in oak barrels. These may be used a number of times because Brandy does not have the new, charred barrel requirement that our Kentucky Bourbon does. Finishing fully matured Woodford Reserve in these barrels does not add any new flavours to the whiskey, but instead accentuates Woodford Reserve’s rich dried fruit and nut characteristics that come from our grain recipe and long fermentation process”.

Please note: Not all bottles come with tags.
