Maker:

Woodford Reserve is crafted with precision and passion at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery, nestled in the heart of Kentucky. Established in 1812, this National Historic Landmark has long been a leader in the production of fine bourbon. The distillery is renowned for its dedication to craftsmanship, with Chris Morris and Elizabeth McCall leading the way as Master Distiller and Assistant Master Distiller, respectively. Their combined expertise ensures that each bottle of Woodford Reserve reflects the legacy of innovation and the commitment to producing the finest bourbon. From the unique approach to distilling, to the custom cooperage for barrel production, every step in the process is designed to create a superior product. Woodford Reserve is a perfect fusion of tradition, craftsmanship, and cutting-edge techniques.

Philosophy:

At Woodford Reserve, the philosophy is simple: great bourbon is a balance of time, patience, science, and artistry. Each bottle of Woodford Reserve is a testament to this belief, drawing on five key elements of flavour: grain, water, fermentation, distillation, and maturation. The distillery’s approach begins with a carefully crafted mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, creating a perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and nuttiness. Their water, naturally filtered by the limestone deposits beneath the distillery, is crucial in ensuring purity and consistency in every drop. The unique fermentation and distillation processes add complexity, while the barrels—made in Woodford Reserve’s own cooperage—mature the bourbon to perfection, adding layers of flavour, balance, and depth. With every sip, Woodford Reserve honours its heritage while continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in bourbon production.
