Cost
This bourbon was initially matured in American oak and then finished in barrels made from maple wood, sherry wood and port wood. Part of Woodford’s Master Collection, this Four Wood Selection bourbon is highly limited. According to Master Distiller Chris Morris, “The batching ratios of the three finishing barrels were painstakingly chosen so that no one character dominated the final product.”

Tasting Notes
"The nose on this bourbon couldn't be more complex. Vanilla, caramel, red wine, freshly chopped firewood, candied citrus, the list goes on. The first sip is like taking a drag off a slightly harsh cigar, and then instantly mellows. The palate then explodes and coats the mouth with sweet citrus, well integrated wood, cool smoke, and a non-cloying sweet, lingering finish. Gorgeous, meticulously complex, yet still approachable. "
