Woodford Reserve Batch Proof Bourbon 118.4 Proof

Woodford Reserve Batch Proof Bourbon 118.4 Proof 2022 Release

Woodford Reserve Batch Proof Bourbon was introduced as an annual release in the distillerys Masters Collection a few years back, in order to offer the bolder flavor experience now expected by American whiskey geeks. Almost everything in the typical Woodford line has the brands signature 90.4 proof point, so a barrel proof expression is quite a bit stronger, though each years Batch Proof release has varied pretty significantly. The 2021 expression was more than 128 proof, while this 2022 release brings things down to a rather more approachable 118.4 proof, which Master Distiller Chris Moore commented on, saying the following:

Barrels drawn from the first floors of our heat-cycled warehouses routinely possess lower proof presentations due the more relaxed angel share process found there. This batch had more of these barrels in its composition, and therefore a lower batch proof presentation than past releases.
