TheWoodford Reserve Distillery Series French Oak Cask Finished Ryewas a limited-edition, 86.4-proof (43.2% ABV) release in 2017. It is no longer widely available at general retailers but can sometimes be found from specialty or secondary market vendors, often at a premium. Product Details This expression was the final bottling in a trio of rye offerings released by Woodford Reserve’s Distillery Series that year, known for its unique, fruit-forward profile. The rye distillate was finished in French oak barrels that had previously held Pinot Noir wine and were seasoned with bourbon, a process that contributed significantly to its distinct flavor profile. Nose: Described by the distillery as having notes of buttery shortbread with hints of nuttiness, kiwi fruit, and drizzled honey resting atop toasted cedar. Reviewers also noted brandied cherries, gingerbread, and an “almost brazen” aromatic profile. Palate: Tastes of brown butter and honey brushed on grilled pineapple, with a more savory body offering cinnamon sticks, licorice root, and cloves. One review mentioned a gentle sweetness of brown sugar and more brandied cherries developing on the palate. Finish: Finishes like a mouthful of soft key lime pie, according to official notes. Other reviewers found it a bit brooding but surprisingly compelling, with a lingering gingerbread cake note.
