Woodford Reserve French Oak Cask Finished Rye Whiskey

Whiskey: Woodford Reserve French Oak Cask Finished Rye

This expression, compared to the previous two, is by far the fruitiest of our rye whiskey Distillery Series offerings, said Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Chris Morris in a prepared statement. Fruit characteristics are atypical for a rye whiskey, making this tropical and citrus dominant blend a very unique expression.

This is the third and final release in the trilogy of rye offerings and the seventh overall Distillery Release bottling from Woodford Reserve. This limited edition series features innovative techniques and experimentation in whiskey making. This French Oak Cask Finished Rye highlights a rye mash distillate used in their Master’s Selection Aged Cask Rye offering. That whiskey was made from 100% rye and aged in used American oak. To create this whiskey, it finished its maturation in French oak barrels which held red wine. Bottled at 86.4 proof.

Nose: Buttery shortbread with hints of nuttiness and Kiwi fruit coated with drizzled honey resting atop a plank of toasted cedar.

Palate: Brown butter and honey brushed on grilled pineapple.

Finish: Finishes like a mouthful of soft Key Lime Pie.
