Woodford Reserve
Batch Proof Bourbon 2019 Release
(0.75l,
61.8%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
The Woodford Reserve Distillery (people born in the 1800s probably knew it as the Old Oscar Pepper Distillery) was established back in 1812 — which means it's older than lawn mowers or sewing machines. Now it belongs to the Kentucky-based behemoth Brown-Forman, and one of the numerous Spirits they produce is the eponymous Woodford Reserve, a top-class small batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, introduced to our palates in 1996. The distillery boasts with ancient copper pot stills and a century-old cypress wood fermenters. They also have one of the only heat cycled barrelhouses in the world, which gives the Spirits its legendary color and flavor.
Woodford Reserve Batch Proof is a limited affair of the standard version without dilution. It's the closest you'll get to sneaking inside the distillery and pouring the Bourbon straight from the barrel. Since the production uses continuous column style stills (your Irish Whiskey went through one), their batches are quite limited, so stocks of The Reserve are fortified with Bourbon from the distillery in Shively, the birthplace of Old Forester. It's an annual release, each year getting an innovative overhaul. The 2019 release comes from a select group of barrels and is an expression on a whole new level.

Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
Woodford is the “Official Bourbon” and its sister brand Old Forrester, is the part of the “Official Mint Julip Cocktail,” during the famous Kentucky Derby horse race at Churchill Downs racetrack.
Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.
Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
