Woodford Reserve is releasing the next iteration of our acclaimed Distillery Series, Chocolate Malt Whisper. This limited-edition bottle is the result of a happy accident at the distillery that ended up producing bourbon with a whisper of chocolate notes.
The result was a unique liquid that explodes with a medley of dark chocolate, cocoa, and roasted coffee with fruity and citrus notes.
Chocolate Malt Whisper is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon that was produced immediately after the production of the spirit that was later released as the 2019 Master’s Collection edition, Chocolate Malted Rye. Some of the flavor notes from that Malted Rye carried over in the distillate of the next batch of bourbon. It influenced the flavor profile, resulting in a bourbon enveloped in roasted chocolate notes.
“Sometimes unforeseen developments occur in the distillery that result in great flavors,” said Master Distiller Chris Morris. “This is one of those cases.”
As is the case with all our Distillery Series expressions, bottles are available for purchase at the Woodford Distillery Gift Shop and at select Kentucky retailers.
