Description

The Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Cherry Wood Smoked Barley is the 12th release in the limited edition series, paying tribute to past distillery industry leaders Oscar Pepper and James Crow. Master Distiller Chris Morris modified the grain recipe by selecting malt that had been smoked with cherry wood during the kilning process, rather than using natural malted barley. This expression is one of the first Kentucky Bourbons to use malted barley exposed to cherry wood smoke, with a mash bill of 70% corn and 30% malted barley. It was released in November 2017.

Nose
A complex mingling of deep caramel, brown sugar, and dark chocolate, with cherry jam and nutty crumbles dusted with wood spice. Also notes of cola, dried cherries, vanilla syrup, wood resin, pine, blackberry, and sometimes wet cardboard.
Palate
Intense smoked almond and malt character, sweetened with cherry pie filling and caramel. Cooked grains, cheesecake, chocolate syrup, soggy pretzels, cherry licorice, graham cracker, and brown sugar. Dry, roasty, with minerality and astringency, some marshmallow, and a mild, resinous background smoke.
Finish
Long smoked almond notes fade into a rich cherry fruit jam. Mild smoky notes over a malty and dry oak base. Chocolate malted milk, mildly smoky and drying.
