Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select Barrel Strength Rye showcases the boldest, most unfiltered side of the iconic Kentucky distillery. Bottled at a powerful 125.1 proof, this release offers the purest expression of Woodford’s rye whiskey untouched by dilution, non-chill filtered, and drawn straight from the most character-rich barrels in the rickhouse.

This is rye whiskey in its raw, authoritative form: layered, spicy, full-bodied, and intensely aromatic. The higher proof amplifies everything enthusiasts love about Woodford’s rye mashbill the deep baking spices, the toasted oak, the warm sweetness, and the complex grain structure. The result is a whiskey that balances power with polish, delivering a ride of flavor that continues to evolve in the glass.

Perfect for collectors, purists, and anyone who wants the real barrel-strength experience, this expression represents Woodford Reserve’s mastery of craft and their commitment to creating whiskey with depth, structure, and unforgettable character.
