Woodford Reserve Masters Collection Historic Barrel Entry Straight Bourbon

This 2022 Masters Collection was made with newly-distilled whiskey that went into the barrel at 100 proof.

The barrel entry proof of new make plays an important role in the maturation process, and the standard for barrel entry proof has changed over the past two centuries.
