Literally everything you love about Woodford Reserve Bourbon, only at full barrel-proof strength.

There has been distilling on the Woodford Reserve Distillery site for over 230 years, making it the oldest Bourbon distillery in Kentucky. Now owned by Brown-Forman — one of America’s largest wine and spirits companies — it has been refitted and set to expand. Since the beginning, the folks at Woodford have been influential in the development and codifying of Bourbon production. In short, they helped invent the spirit as we know and love it today.

If you stop into a strange bar in a strange land, the distinctive Woodford Reserve bottle behind the bar is a welcome sight — assuring that your cocktail will be made well. For many of us, Woodford Reserve Bourbon is the baseline from which all premium Bourbons are judged. Master's Collection Batch Proof 2018 Release is a strictly limited edition of select barrels following the exact same mash bill and process as their core Whiskey, but it’s delivered at a blistering full proof strength — 62.9% ABV — yielding an explosion of richness and flavor.

The finish belongs in Sherlock Holmes’ library with warm leather, tobacco, and oak ending dry.

Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
The Woodford Distillery is the oldest distillery in Kentucky still operating today, but not necessarily continuously. It closed during prohibition while a few other managed to get permission to remain open for “medicinal production."
Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.

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!
