The identity of Woodford Reserve is based on a particularly demanding approach. The house is notably distinguished by the use of triple distillation, a relatively rare process in the world of bourbon, as well as by the combination of traditional copper stills and distillation columns.
The brand also works with small batches in order to better control the quality and consistency of its products. The blend of corn, rye, and malted barley contributes to the aromatic balance of the whiskies produced.
Finally, the work carried out on American oak barrels also plays a central role in the house's signature. During aging, bourbons gradually develop notes of vanilla, caramel, honey, ripe fruits, and sweet spices, characteristic of the Woodford Reserve style.
A few simple guidelines allow you to fully enjoy a bourbon.
The choice of glass plays an important role: a glass that narrows slightly at the top, such as a tulip-shaped glass, helps to better concentrate the aromas. Moreover, to allow it to express its full aromatic palette, bourbon is ideally enjoyed at room temperature.
Then, take a few moments to observe its color, and gradually bring the glass to your nose to identify the aromas before tasting a small amount.
During tasting, it is recommended to let your whiskey sit in your mouth for a few seconds to perceive its evolution: attack, texture, intensity, and finish. Some bourbons highlight more indulgent notes of vanilla and caramel, while others express themselves more on spices and fruit.
Finally, some enthusiasts also appreciate adding a few drops of water, which can help open up the bourbon and bring out certain aromatic nuances.
