Woodford Reserve, the world’s top-selling super-premium American whiskey, announces the Winter 2021 Master’s Collection release – Woodford Reserve Five-Malt Stouted Mash. It’s a whiskey that exhibits the flavors of a classic beer.
In Kentucky, a fermented grain mash is traditionally called “distiller’s beer.” Distillation converts this “beer” into a spirit that will become a “whiskey” once barreled.
“Five-Malt Stouted Mash is an expression unlike any other we’ve released before,” Master Distiller Chris Morris said. “The rich, roasted malty stout flavors mingle with bright touches of baked fruit, crisp spices, and orange zest for a unique Woodford Reserve experience.”
“Woodford Reserve’s distillery was constructed by Irish stonemasons in 1838,” Assistant Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall said. “That history, plus the fact that we distill in the “Irish” style with triple pot stills, inspired us to mash and distill this year’s Master’s Collection.”
This year’s expression marks the 17th release of the Master’s Collection. This limited-edition Master’s Collection is 90.4 proof and is available in select U.S. and global markets with a suggested retail price of $129.99 for a 750ml bottle.
