Woodford Reserve 2019 Brandy Cask Finish 375ml

Woodford Reserve 2019 Brandy Cask Finish 375ml is a Masters Collection Kentucky Straight Bourbon finished in brandy casks after initial maturation in new charred American oak, layering dried fruit, grape, and fortified wine character over the triple-distilled bourbon base.

The Brandy Cask Finish applies a secondary maturation in casks previously used to age brandy — adding dried fruit, raisin, grape, and sweet fortified wine notes on top of the bourbon's caramel and vanilla from new American oak. The result is distinctly different from the standard Woodford Reserve profile: more European in its secondary influence while retaining its Kentucky bourbon identity.
