About this bottle

The first of three rye-focused bottlings in Woodford Reserve's Distillery Series for summer 2017, this whiskey is a combination of two distinct spirits. Sixty-nine percent of the blend is an 11-year-old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey (53% rye, 33% corn, 14% malted barley mashbill). The remaining 31% is a 5-year-old whiskey made from a 100% rye mash bill, aged in used Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels. This product is offered in 375ml bottles and will be sold at select Kentucky retailers and the Woodford Reserve Distillery.

Marilynn Shannon 3.3

Very dry. Smells herbal. A scotch fan's delight. Last sensation... searching for apples underwater!!

Bob Tam 4.0

On the nose, notes of raisins, honey, pepper, sawdust, and white pepper on the finish.

Denise Hannon 4.0

Smooth with a subtle honey sweetness and pronounced spice.
