Woodford Reserve Wheat Whisky

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey is part of the brand's Distiller's Select range, made at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky. Wheat is the dominant grain, making up 52% of the mash bill alongside 20% malt, 20% corn and 8% rye, which sets it apart from the brand's corn-led bourbon and gives it a soft, gentle character.

According to Master Distiller Chris Morris, the nose offers cinnamon and cedar spice with cooked orchard fruits such as apple, pear and banana, a delicate floral note and light hints of vanilla bean and brown sugar. The palate brings spicy applesauce and toasted coconut around an earthy mint and cocoa nib core, before a dry finish of subtle cocoa nibs and lingering apple peel. Bottled at 45.2% ABV, it is ideal neat or as the base of a cocktail.
