Woodford Reserve Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey (700ml)

Product Description

Woodford Reserve Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 700ml is a powerful, unfiltered expression that showcases Woodford’s rye recipe at full intensity. Curated by blackbook for rye drinkers who want maximum flavor without dilution, this barrel strength release delivers the distillery’s signature balance—turned up to its most expressive form.

Bottled straight from the barrel, this rye preserves every layer developed during maturation: bold spice, rich sweetness, and deep oak structure.

The 700ml format highlights its limited, international-style release nature and reinforces its collector appeal.
