Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey is crafted from 51% malt and aged in new charred oak barrels, making it the malt whiskey for bourbon drinkers. Unlike a typical 100% malt whiskey, the 51% malt base results in a whiskey that is richly flavorful and complex, amplifying the nutty characteristics found in the original Woodford Reserve. Bottled at 90.4 proof with a warm umber appearance.

The nose offers soft nutty notes drizzled with light caramel and milk chocolate over a layer of fruit character including apple, dried fruit, and tropical fruit. Hints of brown spice, savory mint, and brown sugar mingle with rich notes of freshly milled toasted oak. The taste delivers dark chocolate and caramel coated nuts dried out with a dusting of cocoa powder and brown spice, brightened by a fruit medley with traces of toasted coconut and rich oak character. The finish is nutty and subtly sweet with chocolate malt notes.

Flavor profile includes over 200 detectable notes spanning sweet aromatics like brown sugar, caramel, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate; grain notes of fresh and toasted malt; wood notes including coconut, fresh oak, hazelnut, pecan, toasted oak, and walnut; fruit and floral notes of apple, banana, date, fig, mango, orange, pineapple, and raisin; and spice notes of cinnamon, clove, cocoa, mint, nutmeg, and tea leaf.
