Woodford Reserve Master's Collection 1838 Style White Corn Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Woodford Reserve Master's Collection 1838 Style White Corn Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a distinctive expression that pays homage to early distillery pioneers Oscar Pepper and James Crow, who utilized white corn in their mashbills during the 1830s, 40s, and 50s. This bourbon features a unique mashbill incorporating white corn, offering a flavor profile that sets it apart from traditional bourbons made with yellow corn. On the nose, it presents aromas of juicy tropical fruits transitioning to dusty, earthy corn and oak. The palate reveals flavors of dusty corn and oak, cayenne, tropical fruits, and baking spices, leading to a finish with more tropical fruits and a slightly bitter dusty corn note accompanied by a lingering gentle heat. Bottled at 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV), this release is part of Woodford Reserve's prestigious Master's Collection, showcasing the brand's commitment to innovation and tradition.
