Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Woodford Reserve Batch 118.4 Proof wraps you in a warm, caramel embrace, its bold character unfolding with layers of toasted oak, dark cherry, and a hint of baking spice that lingers long after the glass is set down. Crafted in the United States and bottled at an assertive 59.20% ABV, this Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey delivers a rich sensory experience that stands up beautifully to hearty steak or the bittersweet depth of dark chocolate. Each pour reveals classic bourbon notes—vanilla bean, roasted nuts, and orange zest—balanced by a velvety mouthfeel that invites slow savoring and conversation.
