Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Series No. 17 Five-Malt Stouted Mash Kentucky Malt Whiskey 750ml

Each Master's Collection release is an experiment from Woodford Reserve's distillers, and No. 17, Five-Malt Stouted Mash, was the Winter 2021 edition. Master distiller Chris Morris and Elizabeth McCall set out to make a whiskey that tastes like a stout beer.

In Kentucky, a fermented grain mash is called distiller's beer, and here the mash was built from five malts to echo a rich, malty stout. It was distilled in Woodford's copper pot stills and aged as a Kentucky straight malt whiskey. The nose is dusky with roasted malt, toasted nuts, milk chocolate and orange zest; the palate brings hazelnut and cocoa over baked fruit and crisp spice, and the malt and cocoa linger. It's bottled at 45.2%.

It's a collector's bottle from a one-time release. For American malt that's easier to find, try Clermont Steep.

Sip it neat; it's a treat alongside a slice of chocolate stout cake.

We carry it in the 750ml size. More bottles are under American whiskey, and the rest of our whiskey is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens.
