Woodford Reserve Rye takes its cue from pre-Prohibition rye whiskeys, with a mash bill containing 53% rye. Spice and tobacco lead a layered mix of fruit, floral and sweet aromatics, bringing sweetness and balance to this Kentucky straight rye whiskey.
Rye spice, black pepper, cedar and cassia bark meet a dusting of marzipan, with pear, apple and almond underneath. The palate brings clove, rye, mint, molasses, sorghum and honey, accented by apple and malt. The finish is long and sweetly spiced.
Producer Description
Woodford Reserve Rye uses a pre-prohibition style ratio of 53% rye in its mash bill to pay homage to history’s original rye whiskeys, making spice and tobacco the dominant note among a sea of fruit, floral, and sweet aromatics, which yields a nice sweetness and overall balance. Our rye whiskey can deliver complex flavors – neat, on ice, or in a cocktail. A balanced rye makes a more balanced cocktail.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy neat, on ice or in a cocktail to explore its balance of rye spice, fruit and sweetness.
