It took just two months for Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Malt, a whiskey based on historical recipes and influenced by Woodford Reserve Bourbon to sell out after originally hitting shelves in June 2018.
Today, Brown-Forman Corp. announced the 51% malt is back on shelves. “The demand for this special liquid was remarkable, and we are excited to have the product available once again,” said Master Distiller Chris Morris.
Coming out of Prohibition, the Federal Government approved four straight whiskey standards: Bourbon, Rye, Wheat, and Malt. These reflected the types of whiskeys produced in the United States prior to Prohibition. While most people associate malt whiskey with Scotland, Kentucky has a pre-Prohibition history of malt whiskey production. Retail $34.99/750ml.
