Unlike a typical 100% malt whiskey, Woodford Reserve is a Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey crafted from 51% malt and aged in new charred oak barrels, making it the malt whiskey for bourbon drinkers.
The base of 51 % malt results in a whiskey that is richly flavorful and complex and amplifies the nutty characteristicsfound in the original Woodford Reserve. Using malt grain allows the wood to play a big role in the flavor.
