  • Excerpt: I imagine it would be yummy mixed into an adult milkshake with pumpkin and caramel, or paired with some warm apple cider and sweet pumpkin pie spices.

  • Excerpt: The finish is more astringent, with pistachio shells, bitter baking chocolate, barrel char, cedar wood, and menthol.

  • Excerpt: There's a bit going on here and all of it is pleasant. Woodford isn't typically the place that one looks for a wheated whiskey, but this could duke it out with other wheated favorites like OWA and Bernheim with ease.

House Review
  • Intro:

    Produced with a 52% wheat mashbill, Woodford Reserve boasts a 4 grain recipe in the release of their Wheat Whiskey.

  • Nose:

    Honey, pears, dole fruit syrup and other lively, fruity sweets.

  • Taste:

    Sweet apple crisp, honey, and some cinnamon. Light, fruity, with a hint of cream and clove.

  • Finish:

    Short finish, sweet once again with peach rings, honey, a hint of cocoa and some drying oak.

  • Overall:

    There's a bit going on here and all of it is pleasant. Woodford isn't typically the place that one looks for a wheated whiskey, but this could duke it out with other wheated favorites like OWA and Bernheim with ease.
