Woodford Reserve was introduced in 1996 by the Brown-Forman Corporation at their historic distillery site, which has been in operation since 1812. Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall leads the modern production, focusing on artisanal methods that showcase the five key sources of flavor: water, grain, fermentation, distillation, and maturation.
Distilled at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, this whiskey honors the classic pre-Prohibition style of rye. It utilizes copper pot stills and charred new white oak barrels to achieve its signature rich texture and depth.
