Woodford Reserve is getting experimental in its latest launch, combining bourbon with winemaking for a singular flavor in its annual distillery series.
The Kentucky-based distillery has released a new, limited-edition bottle of bourbon that has been finished in Cabernet Sauvignon French oak barrels. Per the brand, “the wine barrels impart dark fruit and herbal notes into the bourbon, creating a unique bridge between Kentucky craftsmanship and winemaking tradition.”

The bourbon, which has a suggested retail price of $64.99 for a 375-mL bottle, is part of Woodford Reserve’s distillery series that seeks to push the boundaries of bourbon innovation through two to three releases per year.
“Finishing bourbon in wine barrels allows us to explore exciting new flavor dimensions,” said Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall in a statement. “The wine barrels impart rich, fruit-forward notes that complement the bourbon's natural character, creating something truly special for adventurous whiskey lovers.”

The deep reddish brown bourbon has an aroma of soft vanilla, spiced plum, and blackberry dusted with allspice. Its flavor features warm baking spice, dark cherry, and plum with a hint of cocoa, with finishing notes of soft oak and dried dark fruit.
Customers can purchase a bottle directly from Woodford Reserve Distillery in Kentucky or at select retailers in the state, or have it shipped from the brand’s website to select states like Kentucky, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Washington, D.C.

Woodford Reserve isn’t the only distillery getting experimental with its spirits–last year, beloved Vermont-based distillery WhistlePig launched The Boss Hog XII: Feather & Flame, a limited-edition rye whiskey inspired by traditional flavors found in central Mexico.
The main inspirations are pulque, a fermented beverage made with agave and Mexican chiltepín, guajillo, and pasilla peppers, which provides an earthy flavor to the offering from WhistlePig, and xocolatl, a bitter and spicy drink made from cocoa beans.
At first taste, The Boss Hog XII is citrusy and warm with a hint of smoke before building into a rich, earthy, cocoa flavor, and finishing with an herbaceous chili pepper taste that lingers.
