The story of Woodford Res Bourbon

Woodford Reserve is a straight Kentucky bourbon made at a distillery outside Versailles, in the horse farm country of north-central Kentucky. Bourbon making began on the site in 1812, and the distillery is now a National Historic Landmark. Brown-Forman bought the property back in 1993 and restored it, and the Woodford Reserve brand was introduced in 1996.

The mash bill is 72 per cent corn, 18 per cent rye and 10 per cent malted barley, fermented for longer than most and with a yeast strain particular to the distillery. Spirit from the copper pot stills, which is triple distilled, is blended with column still spirit from Brown-Forman's Shively distillery. The whiskey then matures in new charred white oak barrels. Every bottle is 45.2 per cent and carries its own batch and bottle number.

The distillery's own serves are the Old Fashioned, the Mint Julep and the Kentucky Mule, which is bourbon with ginger beer and lime. It also sits well in a glass with a single large cube of ice.
