About Ha Woodford Reserve Batch Proof 118Prf
Woodford Reserve Batch Proof 118 Proof is a limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Brown-Forman Corp., bottled at a robust 59% ABV (118 proof) in 750ml sizes for $97.50. Part of the annual Master's Collection, it celebrates the distillery's proprietary batching process by blending select barrels and bottling straight from the barrel without dilution, delivering Woodford Reserve's signature sweet vanilla and toasted oak flavors in their purest, high-proof form using the classic mashbill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley. What makes it special is its intensified profile—bold spices, dark fruits, and charred oak that amplify the standard 90.4 proof expression—offering bourbon enthusiasts a raw, undiluted taste of craftsmanship from Master Distiller Chris Morris. Ideal for seasoned sippers who crave high-proof complexity over sweetness, it stands out in the barrel-proof category against pricier rivals by balancing heat with nuance, though some note its drier side and secondary market premiums up to $299 versus MSRP around $130. At this price, it's a compelling value for bold, innovative bourbon.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma bursts with cocoa powder, raisins, cinnamon, tobacco leaf, charred cedar, pear, mellow oak, cherry, banana, salted caramel, and vanilla. Holiday spices, clove, and sweet cinnamon bear candies add wonderful complexity, making it a standout favorite among reviewers. Orange zest and dark chocolate weave in for an inviting, layered invitation to sip.
👅 Palate
Dry and heated entry led by charred oak, allspice, rye spice, caramel chew, vanilla bean, tart orange peel, and plum. Pancake syrup sweetness balances dark coffee, leather, baking chocolate, barrel char, banana, nutmeg, and light oak. The well-integrated 118 proof delivers bold yet justifiable intensity with dark fruits and astringency adding depth.
✨ Finish
Moderate to heavy with lingering oak char, leather, thick caramel, vanilla, spices, and dark fruits like red grapes and plum. Short to medium notes of baking spice and vanilla leave a dry, balanced meld of sweet and spice.
