This year’s addition to the annual Batch Proof series is Woodford Reserve Batch Proof 119.5. Crafted by Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall, Batch Proof is created by batching more than 100 Woodford Reserve barrels together. This includes barrels from many different dates of production located in different warehouses and on different floors.

According to Woodford Reserve, this whiskey begins with a nose of “peanut butter toffee cookie with dried fruit, vanilla, and a dusting of cinnamon spice.” The palate is a symphony of sorghum butter, clove, and nutmeg. The finish is long, dry, and warm and ends with a chutney of berries.

“Batch Proof allows consumers to taste Woodford Reserve exactly as it comes out of the barrels, with all of its complex flavors intact,” McCall said in a press release.
