19th-Century Craft Meets Modern Mastery—Same Limited-Edition Bourbon, Minor Cosmetic Flaw
The Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Historic Barrel Entry is a rare tribute to old-world bourbon making—and now you can add it to your collection at a deep discount. Crafted by Master Distiller Emeritus Chris Morris and Assistant Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall, this limited release revives a 19th-century technique that modern distillers had long abandoned. The only issue? A minor cosmetic flaw on the bottle. The bourbon inside? Absolute perfection.
What makes this release special is its historic barrel entry proof. While today's distillers typically barrel whiskey at 125 proof, this bourbon was entered at just 100 proof—the same method used in the 1800s. The result? A richer, sweeter bourbon that absorbs more character from the charred oak. From the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky—a National Historic Landmark since 1812—this deep russet orange bourbon opens with vanilla bean, dried apple, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, and a hint of cocoa. Aromas of roasted coffee, hazelnut, dark cherry, and plum follow with a touch of spearmint. On the palate, rich toasted oak meets overripe banana and cooked berry fruits, with leather, coffee, baking spices, and minty dark chocolate. The finish lingers beautifully with charred oak, leather, and orange oil.
