Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey is a refined creation hailing from the iconic Woodford Reserve distillery in the heart of Kentucky. This expression embodies a rich heritage rooted in traditional whiskey-making practices while infusing a modern twist through its unique malt-forward composition.
