Woodford Reserve Master's Collection No.18 Historic Barrel Entry Kentucky Malt Whiskey

The Woodford County distillery in the 1830s was the site of several discoveries and innovative methods that have become industry standards for bourbon today. The Master Distiller Chris Morris and Assistant Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall have used this rich history and their own inspiration for the 2022 Master's Collection release. This edition of the Master's Collection was created using newly-distilled whiskey, which was placed in barrels at a proof of 100. The proof of the "new make" is a critical factor in the aging process, and the standard proof for barrel entry has changed over the past 200 years. This resulted in the creation of the Historic Barrel Entry, a bold and rich expression of Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
