Woodford Reserve Barrel Strength Rye 125.1 Proof

Woodford Reserve Barrel Strength Rye: A Bold, Uncut First

Experience the raw power of Woodford Reserve's rye in its purest form. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for exclusive and limited-edition spirits, is thrilled to present the Woodford Reserve Barrel Strength Rye 125.1 Proof. This release marks a historic milestone for the distillery, as it is the first-ever high-proof rye released by Woodford Reserve.

Crafted by Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall, this limited-edition expression uses Woodford's classic "pre-prohibition style" mashbill: 53% Rye, 33% Corn, and 14% Malted Barley. While the standard release is proofed down to 90.4, this special bottling is presented at a robust, uncut 125.1 proof (62.55% ABV), allowing the full intensity of the grain and barrel to shine through without filtration.

This is a rare opportunity to taste the unadulterated character of Woodford's rye. It takes the familiar profile of fruit, floral, and spice notes and amplifies them into a bold, complex, and deeply flavorful experience.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Rich orange marmalade.

• Nose: An intense and complex bouquet of black pepper, clove, and nutmeg, layered over rich toasted oak and vanilla bean. Delicate notes of orange oil and grain dust add a sophisticated lift.

• Palate: A powerful and juicy explosion of flavor. Bright notes of juicy orange and bold baking spices (clove, nutmeg) are grounded by earthy hints of leather and tobacco. The high corn content provides a silky mouthfeel that balances the rye heat.

• Finish: Long, warming, and memorable. The finish lingers with notes of citrus zest, unsweetened tea, and a final, satisfying kick of rye spice.

As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this groundbreaking release. This is a must-have for any rye enthusiast or Woodford Reserve collector. Secure your bottle of this historic first edition today.
