The stone better retains heat, allowing the warehouse to heat and cool more slowly as the seasons change. This means the whiskey shrinks and expands in the barrel more slowly as well. Some claim that this allows for more predictable aging and consistency in taste.,The barrels are aged for at least 6 years and then poured and bottled at 90.4 proof. Woodford Reserve Rye Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey uses a pre-prohibition style ratio of 53% rye in its mash bill to pay homage to history’s original rye whiskeys, making spice and tobacco the dominant note among a sea of fruit, floral, and sweet aromatics, which yields a nice sweetness and overall balance. Woodford Reserve Double Oaked After the usual aging time, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon is then moved to a heavily-toasted, lightly-charred barrel to extract additional oak flavor. The end result is deep amber in the glass, with bright spice cake and baked apple fragrance. On the palate, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is lightly sweet at first, showing creamy caramel, but finishes dry, with touches of espresso, oak and Bakers chocolate. Overall, a bold, flavorful sipper. Frequently Asked Questions What is included in the Woodford Reserve + Woodford Reserve Rye + Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Special bundle?
