This product pays homage to the dedication and expertise of Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall and Master Distiller Emeritus Chris Morris. The Batch Proof expression stands out by meticulously blending different Woodford Reserve barrels to create one well-balanced batch. This unique process allows the bourbon's distinct flavors to shine, offering a sensory journey through a spectrum of sweet aromas, fruity notes, playful spices, and the inherent characteristics of wood and grain. The limited-edition bourbon showcases a visually captivating burnt orange hue. The aroma delights the senses with notes of nutty toasted almond, ripe cherry, and overripe banana, hints of oak, and a spritz of citrus zest. On the palate, the bourbon captivates with a peppery blend of baking spices, cardamom, and pine. The finish boasts notes of leather, cedar, and dry vanilla.
