Woodford Reserve Straight Malt Whiskey 750ml

Woodford Reserve Straight Malt Whiskey uses a mash bill led by malted barley rather than Woodford's usual corn-forward bourbon recipe, aged in new charred oak barrels at the distillery's Kentucky home. The malt-forward mash gives it a different character than the flagship bourbon: more grain and toasted-cereal notes up front, with the vanilla, caramel, and oak still present from the barrel. It's part of Woodford Reserve's rotating specialty releases rather than a permanent core expression, aimed at bourbon drinkers curious about how mash bill changes the final whiskey. Serve it neat to taste the malt character clearly.

How to drink Woodford Reserve Straight Malt

Taste it neat first, ideally next to a standard Woodford Reserve bourbon, to feel how the malt-forward mash bill changes the profile. A single ice cube is fine if you want it colder, but skip mixers so the grain character stays clear.
