Woodford Reserve Rye uses a pre-prohibition style ratio of 53% rye in its mash bill to pay homage to history’s original rye whiskeys, making spice and tobacco the dominant note among a sea of fruit, floral, and sweet aromatics, which yields a nice sweetness and overall balance. Their rye whiskey can deliver complex flavours – neat, on ice, or in a cocktail. A balanced rye makes a more balanced cocktail.
