Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Brandy Cask Finish review 94

WhiskyJason reviews Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Brandy Cask Finish

The Woodford Reserve Brandy Cask Finish is the 11th release of the Master’s Collection.

For the 2016 Master’s Collection release, normal Woodford Reserve was finished for a further two years in used brandy barrels.

According to Brown-Forman, “brandy, a spirit distilled from wine or fruit, is often aged in oak barrels. Unlike bourbon, brandy does not have the new, charred barrel requirement allowing their barrels to be used multiple times. Therefore, this release is technically not a bourbon but rather a finished whiskey.”

The 2010 edition of Woodford Reserve’s Masters Collection limited batch is the result of an experiment with maple wood finishing. This may have been the basis for the Jack Daniel Gold No 27 expression.

Woodford Reserve released in 2008 the fourth bottling in their Master’s Collection, a series of limited experimental whiskeys.

Triple distilled on copper pot stills, it was made using a “sweet” mash of fresh grains, as opposed to the more classic “sour” mash process.
