Introducing a Revolution in Bourbon - Master's Collection Maple Wood Finish
Woodford Reserve is proud to announce the long-anticipated release of its newest member to the Master's Collection series. An innovative spin on a classic that's never been done before, we're excited to make the official announcement here first, to you, our loyal friends. Presenting Woodford Reserve Maple Wood Finish - a unique offering of Woodford Reserve finish-aged in a toasted maple wood barrel, resulting in a whiskey enhanced with hints of maple, honey, and cinnamon. The fifth in the series of limited edition Master's Collection bottlings, Maple Wood Finish continues Woodford Reserve's tradition of crafting rare whiskeys that extend the category in bold new directions. (Click here to see a video featuring Master Distiller Chris Morris discuss the making of Maple Wood finish, and Chef-in-Residence Ouita Michel talk about a yummy food pairing!) |

Why Maple Wood? A Glance into the Mind of the Master
Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Chris Morris explains why he chose Maple, what other woods he tried for this bottling, and which ones didn't work at all! Maple wood aside, if another wood was available I might have chosen hickory. Hickory gives whiskey a spicy note - sort of like barbecue sauce. It is very tasty. Ash didn't work. Well, it worked from a technical standpoint, but not from a sensory one. It did not add any character or alter the Woodford Reserve in any noticeable way. It was, in other words, boring! Some other trees, like apple and peach, just aren't practical because of their size, density and other considerations. |
