Woodford Reserve Master's Collection No. 20 Madeira Cask Finish Blended with Wheat Whiskey

Woodford Reserve completely flips the script with its twentieth Master’s Collection iteration. Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall ventures far beyond standard aging techniques here. She rigorously finishes bourbon, rye, and wheat whiskies inside vibrant Portuguese Madeira casks. They've embraced entirely unorthodox methods. These deeply oxidized wine barrels profoundly reshape the underlying grain structure, imparting a wildly savory complexity that feels both unexpected and remarkably eccentric. It's defying traditional distillery expectations.

Blending takes center stage as unfinished wheat whiskey is blended with the meticulously aged stock. The additional wheat perfectly tempers those aggressive, herbal rye spikes. It's creating a crucial balance. You won’t find standard caramel sweetness dominating this fascinating liquid. Instead, rich layers of dark, oxidized fruit collide with robust cedar and intense baking spices to formulate a highly idiosyncratic, deeply fascinating profile.

• Bottled at a sturdy 90.4 proof for enhanced aromatic delivery.
• Features authentic Madeira wine casks sourced directly from Portugal.
• Represents the pivotal twentieth release in the celebrated Master's Collection.
