The Woodford Reserve brand was launched in 1996, so it’s relatively young in the bourbon world. However, the history of the distillery itself and it impacts on the distilled spirits industry date back to 1812. It was in that year that the first log cabin distillery was built on the site by Elijah Pepper in Versailles, Kentucky, which is located in Woodford County.
They’re led by Master Distiller, Chris Morris– who is not a generational distiller like many of his counterparts. He did grow up in the industry, though, as both his mother and father were distillery employees.
Morris himself has worked with Woodford Reserve since 1976 and took on his current role in 2003. He has been responsible for continuing the signature taste of the brand’s flagship bourbon as well as developing special bottlings. These include Woodford‘s Double Oaked, Rye, and each of the Master’s Collection bourbons, which are an annual release. These often introduce new ingredients and interesting barrels to the bourbon, offering an intriguing taste of the possibilities whiskey holds.
I can’t believe I’ve been doing business with Woodford for so long that this is my Barrel Select #9. It’s hard to beat this Woodford Barrel Select– it’s sensational.
Dark chocolate and orange marmalade notes, rye spiciness adds a bit of flair to the overall flavor profile. In two words, this whiskey is utterly delicious. On the finish it offers a long, spicy and satisfying finish. Hints of tobacco leaf, rye spice, and mint appear before giving way to oak notes and a subtle and elegant floral before leaving the palate.

The Macallan 15 Year Old Double Cask is a balanced single malt whisky created by bringing together the perfect harmony of two oaks into one exceptional single malt whisky. Sherry seasoned American oak adds delicate vanilla to the subtle spice of European oak, delivering a whisky with a sweeter, warmer taste and character. This has become a true bread and butter product for the distillery. It delivers notes of signature spice to go along with apple pie, some dried citrus fruits, vanilla and butterscotch.
This is my sixth private barrel with Knob Creek overall (my fifth 10-year, 120-Proof Single Barrel) and I am consistently blown away by the ratio of quality to value here. It barely makes any sense. Nobody else comes close.

This is a Nicholas Faithful favorite. Even though it’s technically a non-vintage it was last disgorged in the 2020 vintage. La Cravantine, is a sparkling rosé of 100% Cabernet Franc, bone-dry, super fresh and with bubbles so tiny and fine, it puts most “real” Champagne to shame. Appealing strawberry and mineral scents are encased in a firm structure with a dry and spicy quality in the palate. This wine is incredibly versatile – perfect with just about any fish, fried food, or do like I do and enjoy it on it’s own.
The Macallan Rare is truly all about the casks. It’s crafted from the finest and rarest sherry seasoned oak casks to deliver The Macallan’s full-bodied flavor profile and deliver that ‘WOW’ factor. The 2023 Rare Cask release is a collaboration with musician Charlie Burchill of Simple Minds. The idea is that in a sensory world, the parallels between sound, aromas, flavor and color are all intertwined through the shared element of wood. There aren’t many of these babies made each year. It’s literally in the name!
