Woodford Reserve Releases Distillery-Only Blended Malt
Woodford Reserve has released the latest installment of its Distillery Series, the Woodford Reserve Blended Malt.
This new expression combines two different malt whiskies. One was a 100 percent malted barley whiskey aged in used barrels then finished in a Ruby Port Barrel. The other was a blend of five different styles of malted grains aged in new oak barrels. Note that neither of these whiskeys is the same as the standard Woodford Reserve Malt, which is a “Kentucky style” American malt, made from a mash bill of 51% corn, 47% corn and 2% rye.
“This showcases our ability to take complex barrels of whiskies, blend them together and create a new flavorful product,” said Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall.
This limited edition whiskey has a recommended price of $64.99 for a 375ml bottle and is available in limited quantities at select Kentucky retailers and at Woodford Reserve Distillery.
