The Woodford Reserve Historic Barrel Entry bourbon is a spirit crafted using pre-prohibition techniques to give connoisseurs a taste of history. The spirit is 100-proof before being placed into a barrel for aging, which follows the previous techniques and helps the water that would otherwise be added afterwards to make contact with the barrel. This helps to impart a rich, bold flavor that's ready to enjoy right from the barrel rather than needing to be augmented.
The Woodford Reserve Historic Barrel Entry bourbon takes an old-fashioned approach to distilling that is sure to be a hit amongst cocktail connoisseurs alike. The spirit is available now at a variety of retailers for $133 and maintains a deep, rich color that is instantly eye-catching from afar.
