Process & Profile

Woodford Reserve Straight Malt Whiskey is a distinctive American malt whiskey crafted at Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky. Produced as a straight malt whiskey, it is made with a mash bill containing at least 51% malted barley, setting it apart from traditional bourbon and rye expressions. Distilled in copper pot stills and aged in new charred American oak barrels, this whiskey bridges classic malt character with American oak influence. The result is a layered, malt-forward profile that showcases toasted grain richness, gentle sweetness, and refined spice, all delivered with Woodford Reserve’s signature balance.
