Woodford Reserve Unveils 2024 Limited-Edition Batch Proof Bourbon at 119.5 Proof
The anticipation is over—Woodford Reserve has officially released its highly anticipated annual limited-edition high-proof expression, Woodford Reserve Batch Proof 119.5. This year’s release is a testament to the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, offering bourbon enthusiasts a pure, unadulterated tasting experience.
What Makes Batch Proof So Special?
Batch Proof is more than just bourbon; it’s an exploration of flavor and complexity. By blending over 100 barrels of Woodford Reserve bourbon, this expression showcases the exact proof straight from the barrels, presenting the liquid in its raw and authentic form. Unlike the standard Woodford Reserve bourbon, which is bottled at 90.4 proof, Batch Proof allows whiskey lovers to experience the spirit at its natural intensity of 119.5 proof for this edition.
The Craftsmanship Behind the 2024 Release
Woodford Reserve’s Master Distiller, Elizabeth McCall, has curated this year’s Batch Proof to highlight the nuances of the brand’s signature style. The barrels used in this batch are drawn from various production dates and matured in different warehouses and floors, creating a unique and layered flavor profile.
"Batch Proof allows consumers to taste Woodford Reserve exactly as it comes out of the barrels, with all of its complex flavors intact," McCall shared.
