Woodford Reserve Masters Five-Malt Stouted Mash
The Tasting Notes
Dusky notes of roasted malt, toasted nuts all sweetened with hints of milk chocolate and brightened with a touch of orange zest, spearmint and warm baking spices. Oak, cherry cobbler and shortbread round out the malt and barrel influence.
Malty with toasted hazelnut and cocoa highlights atop a layer of baked fruit, crisp spice and zest bounce about the depths.
Malt and cocoa notes linger on.
Details
In the 1830's the Woodford County distillery was the setting for a series of discoveries and innovative practices that today define the bourbon industry.
For this 2021 Master's Collection release Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall have drawn upon that rich history and their own interests for inspiration.
In Kentucky, a fermented grain mash is traditionally called "distiller's beer". This master's collection is their take on crafting a spirit that exhibits the flavours of a classic beer style, in this case a rich, roasted malty stout.
