Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Sweet Oak Bourbon

Product Description

Woodford Reserve Sweet Oak: A Bold Exploration of American Oak

Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Sweet Oak Bourbon is the 2025 limited-edition release from the acclaimed Master’s Collection, created to explore the powerful influence oak can have on bourbon. For this expression, Woodford Reserve aged its Kentucky bourbon in rare Chinkapin oak barrels, developing a richer, sweeter oak character alongside layers of fruit and spice.

Bottled at about a robust 110.4 proof (55.2% ABV), Sweet Oak delivers a full-bodied profile while maintaining Woodford Reserve’s signature balance and sweetness. Notes of dark fruit, baking spice, roasted walnut, black tea, and toasted oak create a complex bourbon designed for slow sipping.

As the 21st release in the Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection, Sweet Oak continues the series’ tradition of experimenting with maturation, grain, and wood to create distinctive limited-edition whiskeys for enthusiasts and collectors.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Mulled cherries, raisins, clove, nutmeg, sweet leather, and toasted oak.

Palate: Warm baking spices, sassafras, roasted walnuts, and black tea with rich oak character.

Finish: Long and lingering with oak, black tea, and dried dark fruit.

Food Pairings

Pair Woodford Reserve Sweet Oak with grilled steak, smoked meats, aged cheeses, roasted walnuts, or dark chocolate. Its rich oak and spice also complement desserts featuring cherries, raisins, caramel, or warm baking spices.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy Sweet Oak neat to experience its full oak-driven character, or add a few drops of water to open up its fruit and spice notes. A large ice cube can soften the 110.4-proof intensity while preserving its rich flavor.
