Unlike a typical 100% malt whiskey, Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey is crafted from 51% malt and aged in new charred oak barrels, making it the malt whiskey for bourbon drinkers. It delivers a richly complex profile that amplifies the nutty character found in classic Woodford Reserve. The nose opens with soft nutty notes layered with light caramel, milk chocolate and fruit, complemented by hints of brown spice, mint, brown sugar and toasted oak. On the palate, dark chocolate and caramel-coated nuts unfold alongside cocoa, brown spice, bright fruit and touches of toasted coconut, finishing with subtly sweet, nutty chocolate malt notes.

This exquisite, triple-distilled single malt is matured only in select handpicked Spanish sherry butts, which have previously been seasoned with the finest Oloroso sherry. It is the influence of these exceptional butts that give this expression of Writers' Tears its signature rich, ruby hue and hence the moniker - 'Red Head'. The expression is distilled without chill filtering as nature intended and at a distinctive 46% ABV.
