Woodford Reserve 2020 Five Wood 375ml

Woodford Reserve 2020 Five Wood 375ml is a Masters Collection Kentucky Straight Bourbon matured sequentially in five different wood types, producing a layered oak character unavailable from any single wood species — the 2020 vintage release in 375ml format.

The Five Wood expression moves Woodford Reserve bourbon through five different barrel types in sequence, each contributing distinct tannins, sugars, and flavor compounds. The cumulative result is oak complexity far exceeding what any single wood type produces — a study in how different barrel types interact with the same spirit over time. The specific woods are documented on the bottle label.
