Woodford Reserve 2018 Bottled In Bond 100 Proof 375ml

Woodford Reserve 2018 Bottled In Bond 100 Proof 375ml — a BiB-certified Kentucky straight bourbon from the 2018 production year meeting the strict federal standards of the Bottled in Bond Act: single distillery, single distilling season, minimum four years aged, bottled at exactly 100 proof.

Woodford Reserve's Bottled in Bond expression applies the distillery's triple pot still distillation and new charred American oak maturation to the BiB federal standard — adding production transparency guarantees to the established Woodford Reserve quality framework. At 100 proof, it is more assertive than the standard 90.4-proof lineup, with the extra proof revealing more of the rye spice and oak depth that triple distillation produces. The 2018 vintage is a discontinued limited release in 375ml format.

Tasting Notes
