$313.00 price per bottle
The Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Batch Proof is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky. Colour: Burnt orange. The whisky often presents a deep amber hue. Aroma: A medley of fruit, sweet, and spice notes may emerge, including dark cherries, candied oranges, brown sugar, dark chocolate, caramel, cinnamon, banana bread, plum, rye spice, and waves of oak. Other notes include nutty toasted almond, cherry, overripe banana, cedar, dried leather, peppermint, and citrus zest. Palate: The taste is rich with notes such as dry tea, caramel, cocoa, dried berries, peppery baking spice, cardamom, pine, toasted nuts, tobacco, dark chocolate, and dark fruit. The high proof provides a pleasant bold heat, allowing the intricate layers of flavour to unfold. The traditional flavours of vanilla, brown sugar, and chocolate are often magnified. Body: Thick mouthfeel. It is described as layered and rich. Finish: The finish can be lingering and warm, with notes of leather, cedar, dry vanilla, dark chocolate, espresso, barrel char, cinnamon-spiced coffee cake, and toasted wood. Varietal Composition: Batch Proof is crafted using the same grain bill and process as Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Woodford Reserve's mashbill consists of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley. The final proof varies by batch; for example, the 2024 edition was 121. 2 proof. Stylistic Notes: The whisky is often described as complex and balanced, with a sweet spiciness. It is a high-strength offering. Food Pairing Pairings suggested for Woodford Reserve's flavour profile, which shares many characteristics with this expression, often include: Dark chocolate, which highlights the spice and chocolate notes. High-grade dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa is recommended. Aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino, as their high fat content stands up to the bourbon’s proof and highlights woody and nutty characteristics. Grilled steak, where the bourbon’s vanilla, caramel, and oak notes enhance the savoury and rich taste of the meat. Roasted nuts, like toasted pecans or hazelnuts, which highlight the contributions of the toasted oak. Dried cranberries, which ignite the fruit and floral aromas. This pairing highlights the spirit's depth and character.
