Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Maple Wood Finish Straight Bourbon is the fifth release in this acclaimed series and features finishing in a genus of oak aptly named Sugar Maple. Highly porous by nature, the sugar maple is anything but ideal when it comes to the production of whiskey. Woodford Reserve rises to the challenge with this iteration, layering the complexity of the sugar maple throughout this selection for a straight bourbon that is layered in the tones of sweet maple syrup, honey, and cinnamon. Produced in an estimated 18,282 bottles worldwide and bottled at 47.2% ABV, the Master’s Collection Maple Wood Finish Straight Bourbon is first aged for a minimum of 4 years in charred American white oak barrels and then finished in custom-made toasted sugar maple barrels. A pinnacle of limited edition whiskey, this wonderfully decadent bourbon offers a nose of brown sugar, baked apricot cobbler, and melted chocolate over a palate of cinnamon, roasted nuts, and just a hint of maple syrup.
