Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Madeira Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey 700ml

Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Madeira Cask Finish Bourbon Whiskey is a distinctive limited-edition release that showcases the Kentucky distillery’s innovative approach to wood finishing and flavour development. As part of the acclaimed Master’s Collection, this bourbon begins its life as a fully matured Woodford Reserve bourbon before being finished in carefully selected Madeira wine casks. This secondary maturation introduces an added layer of complexity, enhancing the bourbon’s natural richness without masking its core character. In the glass, it displays a deep amber colour with copper highlights, reflecting both age and cask influence. The nose is immediately expressive, combining classic bourbon sweetness with lifted fruit and wine-driven nuances. On the palate, the whiskey is full-bodied and richly textured, balancing caramel and vanilla with darker fruit tones imparted by the Madeira casks. Oak spice and gentle tannin structure provide definition and depth. The influence of the wine cask adds elegance rather than sweetness alone, lending a refined, almost silky progression across the palate. The finish is long and warming, layered with spice, fruit and lingering oak. This release stands as a compelling example of how thoughtful finishing can elevate bourbon while preserving its authenticity and structure.
