In Kentucky, a fermented grain mash is traditionally called “distiller’s beer”. Distillation converts this “beer” into a spirit that will become a “Whiskey” once barreled. This Master’s Collection is our take on crafting a spirit that exhibits the flavors of a classic beer style, in this case a rich, roasted malty stout.

The 17th release in the Woodford Reserve’s Master’s Collection was produced with five different malted grains and offers a rich, malty character similar to a heavy stout.
