Portrait: What makes the Woodford Reserve Master's Collection - Sonoma Triple Finish

Dive into the world of bourbon innovation with the Woodford Reserve Master's Collection - Sonoma Triple Finish. Under the expert direction of Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall, this limited edition was inspired by Woodford Distillery's previous creations and experiments.

This year's Master's Collection stands out for two notable features stands out: a Pinot Noir finish and maturation in a brandy barrel. The unique fusion of these two highlights from the renowned wineries in Sonoma County creates an incomparable enjoyment experience.

Back in 2014, Woodford Reserve presented the first Pinot Noir Finish Kentucky Bourbon, the Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Finish. The first bourbon, which was bottled in American brandy barrels, followed in 2016. The 2024 limited edition combines these two milestones and fuses them with the rich vanilla and caramel notes that result from aging in used Woodford Reserve casks.

The Wine World responded enthusiastically to the experimental “Bourbon Barrel Aged” category, which aged red wines in Woodford Reserve barrels. These rich vanilla and caramel notes inspired Elizabeth McCall to explore different pairings with the three wines. The result is the Sonoma Triple Finish - a unique blend of Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, aged in Sonoma County Pinot Noir, brandy and ex-bourbon barrels used to age red wine.

The color of the Sonoma Triple Finish is an intense burnt sienna (rust brown/clay), and the aroma seduces with grilled pineapple slices and plums dusted with vanilla and cinnamon. The taste reveals a harmony of vines and red fruits, warmed by rich vanilla and oak notes. The finish is characterized by oak and red grape tannins.

The Woodford Reserve Master's Collection represents the pinnacle of bourbon craftsmanship. This collection serves as a stage for the innovation and creativity of our master distillers, who experiment with grains, maturation techniques and aroma profiles when producing each individual edition.

With limited editions Woodford Reserve continues to push the boundaries of bourbon making by delighting enthusiasts with new flavor profiles and detailed craftsmanship. The Master's Collection offers a fascinating journey of discovery and appreciation for the art of bourbon. Experience a new dimension of enjoyment with the Sonoma Triple Finish, characterized by sophistication and mastery.
