rye whiskey,<\/a> wheat whiskey, and other unique expressions. The latest to debut is a Woodford Reserve Blended Malt, a new limited-edition bottle that\u2019s part of the brand\u2019s Distillery Series.<\/p>\nThe Distillery Series was created to push Woodford Reserve\u2019s creative boundaries and introduce new expressions to the market. In this case, Blended Malt combines two different malt whiskeys: One 100% malt aged in used barrels and then finished in a ruby port barrel, and another that combines five different styles of malt grains aged in new oak barrels.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis showcases our ability to take complex barrels of whiskies, blend them together and create a new flavorful product,\u201d said Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall.<\/p>\n
The limited-edition Woodford Reserve Blended Malt is available now in limited quantities at select Kentucky retailers and at the Woodford Reserve Distillery. It has a suggested price of $64.99 and is packaged in a 375 mL bottle. Until you get a bottle for yourself, here are some tasting notes from the brand.<\/p>\n
