Product description

Woodford Reserve is built around flavor. The art of making fine bourbon first took place on the site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, in 1812. The perfectly balanced taste of our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is composed of more than 200 detectable flavor notes, from bold grain and wood, to sweet aromatics, spice, and fruit & floral notes.

    Woodford Reserve is one of my husbands favorite bourbons. He likes his over ice or in an old fashion. For me it was a little too strong I prefer a not so strong bourbon.

    This bourbon is delicious. It's smooth and easy. Doesn't leave a weird after taste. It's not too expensive and can be found at many stores. I highly recommend

    Woodford Reserve absolutely nailed every single one of the flavor notes of wood, grain, spices, and fruits. It is really an eloquent experience. I love that it's versatile and can be consumed straight, or in various cocktail combinations.

    Woodford Reserve is a standard in my liquor cabinet as it works well for cocktails, but can be sipped pleasurably on its own merits.

    This is our absolute favorite bourbon. The taste is so smooth and mild. The scent is a little spicey and a warm oak. It could be sipped over ice and there's minimal burn. I love making mint juleps and bourbon and coke. We always have this on hand and feel confident serving it to our guests.

FAQs

Woodford Reserve is a great bourbon for its cost, as you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better bottle in the $40 range. When you sip Woodford Reserve, you can expect some subtle notes of vanilla and honey to present as it develops on your palate, followed by some nutty maltiness and spice. You may also note things like dried/charred wood and a bit of corn; not surprising given this bourbon is 72% corn, 10% malted barley, and 18% rye.
Woodford Reserve isn’t particularly expensive, with a shot costing around $2.50 and a 750 mL bottle costing between $38 and $45. This premium bourbon is great for sipping neat or on the rocks, and it makes a great mixer with other whiskeys if you’re into blends. High-quality ingredients include corn, rye, and malted barley, and it delivers notes of vanilla and honey along with spice and malty nuttiness.
For starters, you can drink Woodford Reserve either neat or on the rocks (or you can mix it with other whiskeys, but you should try it on its own first!). Start by sipping it as you would hot tea or coffee, rolling it around on your tongue and letting it develop — that’s how you get the notes of honey, vanilla, corn, and spice. This is important because diving in too quickly and taking a big mouthful can overwhelm your taste buds and ruin the whole experience.
Woodford Reserve is a good gift for someone who appreciates whiskey. Even a connoisseur can appreciate this ~$40 bottle of whiskey and its slightly sweet, warm flavor with hints of vanilla, charred wood, and corn. It’s recommended for people who like to either sip their whiskeys neat or blend them with others.
