Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye

A spectacular, meticulously crafted Kentucky rye that honors history! In the pre-Prohibition era, rye whiskeys were often made with a much lower rye content than today's intense, peppery 95% blends. Woodford Reserve Rye adheres to this classic approach with a mash bill of 53% rye, 33% corn, and 14% malted barley. Bottled at 90.4 proof, it delivers a brilliantly balanced, fruit-forward profile that offers plenty of spicy black pepper on the nose, but softens out into a remarkably sweet, rich, and honeyed palate.

NOSE

Bright, floral, and intensely spicy. Bold aromas of fresh black pepper, cedar, sweet pear, and dark caramel.

PALATE

Rich, velvety, and exceptionally balanced. A lively punch of peppery rye spice and cinnamon is beautifully rounded out by sweet corn, warm honey, and dark apple.

FINISH

Long, crisp, and elegantly warming with lingering sweet fruit and gentle spice.
