Their histories are as rich as the whiskeys they carefully compose, barrel, age, and have been serving for generations. Since their founding, these American brands have helped lead the whiskey revolution, exposing the world to flavors and finishes, notes and tones, and all of the hidden complexities that whiskey has to offer.
Rooted in history, the only direction they know how to go is forward, but not before giving a lesson in WWK: Whiskey Worth Knowing.
Woodford Reserve, a Kentucky-born bourbon that boasts rich and complex flavor notes, has its own story worth knowing.
Crafted from a unique grain recipe of corn (72%), rye (18%), and malted barley (10%), the water used to create Woodford Reserve is filtered by natural limestone deposits before enduring one of the industries longest fermentation processes — 5-7 days — using a proprietary yeast strain. Fermentation is followed by an equally thoughtful aging technique, which takes place in charred white oak barrels stored within heat-cycled warehouses.
The 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV) contemporary bourbon boasts more than 200 flavor notes that, together, create a complex yet balanced symphony of citrus, cinnamon, cocoa, toffee, caramel, chocolate, and spice notes resulting in a silky smooth finish.
