Woodford Reserve Announces Release of Batch Proof
Woodford Reserve has released its annual limited-edition, high-proof expression: Woodford Reserve Batch Proof.
At 119.5 proof, this expression celebrates the commitment to craftsmanship of Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall.
Batch Proof showcases the flavor nuances created from batching 100-plus different Woodford Reserve barrels together, then presenting that bourbon at the exact proof from the barrels. The barrels used to create Batch Proof are drawn from many dates of production and matured in various warehouses and different floors within those warehouses.
The liquid offers a range of sweet aromatics, fruit, spice, wood and grain characteristics at a higher proof, not the standard 90.4 proof.
“Batch Proof allows consumers to taste Woodford Reserve exactly as it comes out of the barrels, with all of its complex flavors intact,” McCall said in a news release.
This limited-edition collection is available in select U.S. and global markets and has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $149.99. It’s available in limited quantities at Woodford Reserve Distillery starting at 9 a.m. EST on December 10 and also available for shipping in states where it is legal (KY, ND, NE, ND, D.C. only) in our online store at shop.woodfordreserve.com.
