About the product
The Woodford Reserve Wheat Whiskey is a softer, grain-forward expression built around a mash bill of 52% wheat, supported by corn, malted barley, and a small amount of rye. This composition shifts the profile away from spice and toward smoothness, creaminess, and subtle sweetness.
Produced in Kentucky using copper pot stills and aged in new charred oak barrels, it maintains the signature Woodford balance while offering a lighter, more approachable alternative to bourbon. The higher wheat content gives it a rounded texture and a gentle flavor profile without sharp edges.
