Produced by the Woodford Reserve distillery in Kentucky. Its owner is the Brown-Forman Corporation, the same as Jack Daniel’s. In fact, Brown Forman, which had owned the distillery since 1941 – at that time, Labrot & Graham Distillery – sold it in 1973 to a farmer. And twenty years later he bought it back. Although Woodford and Jack Daniel’s are from the same family, the production of Woodford Reserve is different from Jack Daniels. Woodford's recipe is 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% barley malt. Therefore, Woodford has more rye than other bourbons and therefore has a slightly spicy flavor. Fermentation takes longer - six days compared to three days for other whiskeys. It is triple distilled in the distillery's own copper stills. A smaller portion undergoes column distillation at the Brown-Forman Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. The alcohol content of the spirit is then reduced by up to 55% by mixing it with water from the stream that supplies the distillery, called Glenn’s Creek. The virgin barrels that mature Woodford are produced at Brown Forman Cooperage, which is also responsible for manufacturing those used by Jack Daniel’s. This allows the distillery to choose the best barrels to mature its bourbon. The maturation time is not clearly disclosed, but it is believed to be around seven years. Almost three years longer than most Jack Daniel’s. Additionally, Woodford can order barrels to any specification you desire. Woodford Reserve has a flavor of caramel, brown sugar, vanilla and spices that is different from other bourbons. Source: Cão Engarrafado website.
