Woodford Reserve Madeira Cask Finished Bourbon – 700ml Limited Release

Crafted for California whiskey enthusiasts seeking bold innovation in their pours, Woodford Reserve’s 20th Anniversary Master’s Collection: Madeira Cask Finish Blend offers an extraordinary fusion of tradition and experimentation. This limited-edition American whiskey emerges from a meticulous process where select bourbons, ryes, and wheat whiskies are aged in sun-drenched Madeira wine barrels sourced from Portugal’s volcanic islands—a first in Woodford Reserve’s storied history. Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall’s vision shines through as these casks infuse deep dried fruit and nutty nuances into the spirit before it’s blended with Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey for an elevated fruit-forward profile that stands apart from standard offerings.

Upon opening the bottle, your senses are greeted by a captivating aroma of dark cherries and candied oranges nestled against a backdrop of brown sugar sweetness and clove-spiced warmth—a testament to the casks’ rich history holding fortified wine. The palate unfolds with robust dried fruit flavors like raisins and cranberries that seamlessly transition into velvety walnut textures and cinnamon-kissed baking spices, creating a harmonious balance between boldness and elegance. The finish lingers longingly on the palate with a candied walnut sweetness that echoes the craftsmanship behind every drop.

At 45.2% ABV, this premium blend delivers both intensity and smoothness ideal for savoring neat or crafting refined cocktails that demand complexity. Unlike conventional bourbons or wheat whiskeys, its Madeira cask finish introduces unprecedented layers of flavor shaped by transatlantic collaboration between American grain mastery and Portuguese wine traditions.
