Product overview

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the heart of the brand. With its rich, complex flavour and notes of caramel, vanilla, oak and fruit, it is perfect for enjoying neat or in premium cocktails. This bourbon is distilled from a carefully selected blend of maize, rye and barley and matured in handcrafted oak barrels.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is an exclusive premium variant that develops even deeper and richer flavours through a second maturation in heavily charred oak barrels. This version offers a particularly intense and multi-layered taste experience, ideal for special occasions. The notes of dark chocolate, roasted almonds and caramel make this bourbon an unforgettable treat.

Woodford Reserve Rye

Woodford Reserve Rye is a classic rye whisky renowned for its spicy and full-bodied flavours. With a high proportion of rye in the mash bill, this whisky offers notes of cinnamon, pepper, honey and dried fruit. The long ageing in oak barrels gives the rye its complexity and depth.
