Released under the distillery’s celebrated Master’s Collection series, Woodford Reserve Batch Proof 119.5 showcases the master blending art of Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall. Produced from Woodford's proprietary grain recipe—72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley—the spirit marries copper pot-still and column-still distillates fermented with a proprietary yeast strain and local limestone-filtered water. Drawn from a curated assemblage of barrels matured across the upper tiers of the estate's stone barrel warehouses, it is presented completely uncut and unfiltered at a full barrel strength of 119.5 proof (59.75% ABV) in a standard 700 ml heavy-base European export decanter, capturing the core flavor profile in its rawest, most concentrated form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bourbon pours a deep, radiant dark mahogany-amber hue with burnished copper highlights, leaving thick, slow-running sheets of tears along the glass. On the nose, it is intensely aromatic, bold, and confectionery, leading with dark brown sugar, molasses, toasted oak, and Madagascar vanilla bean, swiftly accompanied by rich notes of dried dark cherries, blackberry preserves, and dark chocolate truffles. Beneath the initial richness lie secondary aromas of clove, nutmeg, candied orange peel, and seasoned cedar wood. On the palate, the 119.5 proof brings an exceptionally viscous, oily, and mouth-coating texture that completely carries the elevated alcohol. Waves of warm toffee, crème brûlée, and toasted pecan unfold across the tongue, counterbalanced by a firm kick of peppery rye spice, cinnamon bark, and bitter cocoa nibs. The toasted wood tannins provide firm structural grip without becoming dry or astringent. The finish is remarkably long, warm, and expansive, lingering with impressions of dark stone fruit, leather, charred oak sweetness, and a trailing, delicate baking spice warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccolades\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoodford Reserve’s Batch Proof series stands among the most critically lauded annual releases in American whiskey, consistently earning 94–96 point ratings across publications such as \u003cem\u003eWhisky Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003ePaste Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e.
