Woodford Reserve Rye pays homage to history with a pre-Prohibition style mash bill of 53% rye. Spice and tobacco lead the way, supported by layers of fruit, floral and sweet aromatics that create depth and approachability. The nose is distinctly spicy with notes of rye, black pepper, cedar and cassia bark, softened by marzipan and hints of pear, apple and almond. On the palate, clove, rye, mint, molasses, sorghum and honey mingle seamlessly with subtle fruit and malt, finishing long and sweetly spiced. Versatile and complex, this rye shines neat, on ice, or as the foundation of a perfectly balanced cocktail.
