Woodford Reserve – Masters Collection Four Grain Bourbon Batch #2

Woodford Reserve Masters Collection Four Grain Batch #2 is the second annual release of a Kentucky straight bourbon made at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky. It was distilled in triple copper pot stills. The mash bill combines corn, wheat, rye and malted barley. Four Grain was the founding release of the Masters Collection, introduced by Master Distiller Chris Morris in 2005, and this batch uses a different set of mature barrels. Rye and wheat sit together in the mash, bringing spice alongside softness. Tasting notes describe corn sweetness, rye spice, wheat softness and malted barley nuttiness on the nose, with rye spice and wheat softness on the palate. The finish is medium to long, with gentle spice and warm oak.
