Woodford Reserve® Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey + FREE Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned Cocktail Syrup
Woodford Reserve Wheat Whiskey is a modern interpretation of a classic straight American whiskey through wheat grain innovation. With a nod to history balanced with the pioneering spirit of Woodford Reserve, our Wheat Whiskey becomes the fruit-forward expression within our Five Areas of Flavor offerings. This Wheat Whiskey is unique as it is made using all four grain types. After Prohibition the Federal Government approved four straight whiskey standards: Bourbon, Rye, Malt and Wheat. These reflected the types of whiskies produced in the United States prior to Prohibition. With the introduction our Wheat Whiskey, Woodford Reserve will be the first to produce all four types.
- Nose: Cooked fruit (apple, pear, banana) and aromatic spices (cinnamon and cedar) mingle with a delicate floral character sweetened with light vanilla bean and brown sugar notes.
- Taste: Spicy applesauce and toasted coconut notes enliven an earthy mint and cocoa nibs mix.
- Finish: Dry, subtle cocoa nibs and apple peel fruit linger on.
Woodford Reserve® Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey + FREE Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned Cocktail Syrup
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey showcases the five sources of flavor with an emphasis on the nuttiness of grain and toasted oak of the barrel delivering a more buttery expression than our bourbon. Using Malt grain allows the wood to play a big role in the flavor. Coming out of Prohibition the Federal Government approved four straight whiskey standards: Bourbon, Rye, Wheat, and Malt. These reflected the types of whiskies produced in the United States prior to Prohibition. While most people associate Malt Whiskey with Scotland, Kentucky has a history of Malt Whiskey production pre-Prohibition. Woodford Reserve Malt draws upon this pre-Prohibition heritage for inspiration.

- Finish : Nutty and subtly sweet chocolate malt notes linger on.

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye
Jack Daniel’s Rye is the brand’s first new mashbill since prohibition. Considering all the drinkers who are rediscovering rye, the challenge of creating a Jack Daniel’s version of this special whiskey was too exciting to pass up. We’ve brought forward the spice of rye, while leaving room for the complexity and depth of the corn and malted barley.
Because it’s charcoal-mellowed and aged in new, white oak barrels, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye has the Jack character and smooth finish that does not over-power. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye has a unique grain bill of 70% rye, 18% corn, 12% malted barley, the result is a bold, spicy rye whiskey that’s sippin’ smooth.
Nose : An enticing blend full of sweet, soft fruit layered with an underlying rye spice and oak.
Taste : At 90 proof, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye Whiskey packs rich flavors from start to finish. This well-rounded rye whiskey brings out caramel and dry baking spice.
Finish : Peppery rye character on the back end.
