Woodford Malt Sold Out, But Coming Back This Month

Brown-Forman must have been taken by surprise by the popularity of Woodford Reserve’s fifth regular release whiskey, Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Malt, because the expression sold out in just two months. Thus, August was a pretty scarce month for the American Malt made in an Irish-style triple set of copper pot stills, but supplies are set to improve as Woodford Reserve re-releases it.

The Malt is a permanent extension to the Woodford Reserve portfolio, which includes the original Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Woodford Reserve Rye and Woodford Reserve Wheat, which released earlier this summer. Woodford Reserve Malt is being re-released for purchase globally beginning in September 2019.

The grain bill is 51 percent malt, resulting in a whiskey that complements the nutty characteristics found in the original Woodford Reserve.

“We are pleased to announce Woodford Reserve Malt is once again available to our consumers,” Morris said. “The demand for this special liquid was remarkable, and we are excited to have the product available once again.”

Woodford Reserve Malt presents at 90.4 proof, with a suggested retail price of $34.99 for a 750ml bottle.
