Rather than staves seasoned for months or roughly a year, this release uses American oak exposed to the elements for five to seven years before barrel construction — prolonged weathering that reduces harsh green tannins and changes how the oak contributes sweetness, spice, and structure during maturation. The bourbon then aged nine years, a stage separate from the wood-seasoning period, before bottling at 50.2% ABV (100.4 proof). The result layers caramel and vanilla sweetness with fruit, bright orange oils, and warming baking spice — a focused study in barrel preparation for followers of Woodford Reserve's experimental Master's Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel and vanilla followed by almond, cherry, and dried red apple, accented with cinnamon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Velvety vanilla and caramel lifted by orange oils, cinnamon, and clove.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet, with warming cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProducer: Woodford Reserve (Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall), Versailles, Kentucky\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey (Master's Collection No. 22, Super Seasoned Oak)\u003cbr\u003eStave Seasoning: American oak weathered outdoors 5–7 years before barrel construction\u003cbr\u003eAge: 9 Years\u003cbr\u003eProof: 100.4 (50.2% ABV)\u003cbr\u003eRelease: 2026, Limited\u003cbr\u003eSize: 700mL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Super Seasoned Oak?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is Woodford Reserve Master's Collection No. 22, a limited 2026 release that uses American oak staves seasoned outdoors for five to seven years before the barrels are built, exploring how oak preparation shapes the bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow old is the bourbon?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNine years — a maturation stage separate from the five-to-seven-year wood-seasoning period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat proof is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100.4 proof (50.2% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Super Seasoned Oak?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is Woodford Reserve Master's Collection No. 22, a limited 2026 release that uses American oak staves seasoned outdoors for five to seven years before the barrels are built, exploring how oak preparation shapes the bourbon.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How old is the bourbon?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Nine years, a maturation stage separate from the five-to-seven-year wood-seasoning period.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What proof is it?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"100.4 proof (50.2% ABV).\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Woodford Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67841197769072,"sku":"WR-MC22-SSO-700ML-2026","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/1621\/5176\/files\/WoodfordReserveSuperSeasonedOak.png?v=1792696102","url":"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/products\/woodford-reserve-masters-collection-no-22-super-seasoned-oak-700ml","provider":"Wooden Cork","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
