About this bottle
Woodford Reserve Straight Wheat Whiskey swaps rye for wheat as the flavoring grain, a less common style than Woodford's flagship bourbon. It's aged a minimum of two years — the straight whiskey threshold — in new charred oak barrels at the distillery's Versailles, Kentucky site, distilled through the same triple-copper-pot-still process as the rest of the range. Wheat brings a softer, rounder sweetness than rye's spice, with honey, vanilla, and light caramel on the nose and palate, and a smooth, mellow finish. Bottled at 90.4 proof, it's built for drinkers who like Woodford's house character but want a gentler, sweeter pour.
How to drink Woodford Reserve Straight Wheat Whiskey
Its wheated softness makes it a smooth Old Fashioned base, or sip it neat to taste the honey and vanilla the wheat brings. Less bite than the standard bourbon.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Straight Wheat Whiskey?
Serve it neat or on the rocks in a rocks glass; wheat whiskey's softer grain profile takes well to a splash of water.
What cocktails work well with Straight Wheat Whiskey?
Its soft, wheat-forward profile works well in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, where it won't fight with the sweet vermouth or sugar.
What makes Straight Wheat Whiskey a wheat whiskey rather than a bourbon?
Wheat is the dominant grain rather than corn, which is required for something to be labeled bourbon — this bottling is more wheat-forward than most.
Where is Woodford Reserve made?
At a National Historic Landmark site in Versailles, Kentucky, dating to 1812, using traditional copper pot stills rather than the column stills most bourbon uses.
