Woodford Reserve Barrel Strength Rye 125.1 Proof is a Kentucky straight rye whiskey crafted from a pre-Prohibition-style mash bill of 53% rye, 33% corn, and 14% malted barley. Bottled uncut at a robust 125.1 proof (62.55% ABV) and non-chill filtered, it delivers maximum intensity from carefully selected barrels, honoring America's original rye legacy with bold spice forward. This limited-edition release from Versailles, Kentucky, clocks in at 700mL with an orange marmalade hue.

Pepper, clove, and nutmeg mingle with rich toasted oak, vanilla bean, and delicate orange oils for an inviting, spicy aroma.

Juicy orange bursts alongside bold baking spices like clove and nutmeg, accented by hints of leather and tobacco for a warm, layered palate.

Long and lingering with vibrant citrus notes and unsweetened tea, leaving a memorable, spice-tinged impression.

This first-ever barrel-strength rye from Woodford Reserve elevates their flagship recipe to high-proof boldness, amplifying spice, tobacco, fruit, and floral nuances without dilution. Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall selected around 120 barrels to showcase the distillery's expertise in triple distillation and extended fermentation. As a limited release at about $130, it stands out for its authentic, unfiltered richness in a sea of standard 90.4-proof ryes.

Savor it neat or with a splash of water to unlock its full spice and citrus profile during contemplative sipping sessions. It excels in classic cocktails like a Manhattan, where its intensity cuts through mixers boldly. Serve at room temperature in a Glencairn glass to appreciate the evolving layers.
