Woodford Reserve Bourbon Chocolate Malted Rye Master's Collection 700mL

Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whiskey Master's Collection Chocolate Malted Rye 700mL This new bourbon, said to be a one time offering only, is bottled at 90.4 proof, sporting a specific mash bill that’s 70% corn, 15% chocolate malted rye and 15% distillers malt. Chocolate Malted Rye is crafted by roasting the rye malt to a level that its natural sugars caramelized into a dark chocolate note.

Chris Morris the Master Distiller had this to say about the Woodford Chocolate Rye "The Master's Collection expressions have always reflected what is different from our core bourbon; in this case it’s the chocolate malt content that makes it different. We had rye that was malted, and in the malting process, the grain has to be dried out. The malt house turned up the temperature of the drying kiln and that caramelized the malt sugar in the rye—when it’s roasted and toasted it tastes like chocolate. This one is 60% corn, 15% choc malted rye and 15% standard distillers malt."

. It’s that time of year again, time for the annual release of Woodford Reserve’s Master’s Collection expression and, as Master Distiller Chris Morris notes, “act fast, because once this is gone, it’s gone. We will never make another one like it.” This year marks the 16th iteration from the Master’s Collection and while one never knows what each year will bring, two things you can be sure of: each bottling is historic and each is the first of its kind from Kentucky. This year Morris and Assistant Master Distiller, Elizabeth McCall tasted and analyzed their inventory of aging bourbons and decided it was the optimum time to release the Chocolate Malted Rye. Says Morris, “People are going to absolutely love this one. I sampled it throughout its maturity; it has such a great chocolate-y perfume. The nose is like opening a can of rich, dark chocolate frosting but the palate shows more cocoa nib, nuttiness, mint and dark dried fruit character.” I asked Morris and McCall several questions about the new expression (what exactly is chocolate malt anyway?) and life as a distiller. This fabulous looking bottle comes with a detailed hang tag about this great whiskey and the company that produces it. It's cork and paper sealed with a wooden stopper.
