Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70cl - RV Drinks

Three copper pot stills at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky produce this triple-distilled bourbon, giving it a genuinely rich, complex profile that's earned it recognition as the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby. Rich dried fruit dominates the nose alongside hints of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa, developing into a rich, chewy, rounded palate with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa, closing silky smooth and almost creamy with a long, warm, satisfying tail that reflects the meticulous triple-distillation process this Kentucky staple is known for.
