Woodford Reserve 12 year old Distillery Series (2025 Release), 45.2%

The first age-stated single malt from Woodford Reserve, making it a rare bird among Kentucky whiskey makers, was aged entirely in bourbon barrels. There’s prevalent but balanced oak on the nose, and flavors of vanilla ice cream, black tea, and lemon, plus a bit of spice, leading to a flavorful and oak-influenced finish with baking spice, dark chocolate, caramel, and freshly baked chocolate cake. $100/375ml
