Woodford Reserve Four Wood

MASTER'S COLLECTION

In the early 1800s, our Woodford County Distillery, thanks to owner Oscar Pepper and Master Distiller James Crow, was the site for landmark discoveries and innovative techniques in bourbon-making.

Pepper and Crow are credited with refining and defining key processes such as sour mashing, yeast propagation, copper pot distillation and the maturing of whiskey in new, charred oak casks. Their work defined bourbon and subsequently rye whiskey as we know them today.

Woodford Reserve Distillery’s Master Collection honors the pioneering work of Pepper and Crow, applying their handcrafted methods to a variety of grain recipes, fermentation styles and maturation processes to create a range of unique whiskeys.

Brown-Forman Corp. launched the newest addition to its Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection line of whiskeys. Woodford Reserve Four Wood consists of bourbon that has been aged in American oak barrels and finished in barrels made from maple wood, sherry wood and port wood. The four different varieties of wood bring a unique flavor profile to the bourbon, the company says. Each bottle is individually numbered and presented at 94.4 proof. Available in limited quantities

The Four Wood Selection was released in November 2012, but supplies are limited, so ask your retailer today.
