Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition Bourbon Whiskey

The Baccarat Edition is Woodford Reserve finished in XO Cognac barrels that had held three seasons of Cognac, presented in a bespoke Baccarat crystal decanter — the most expensive bottle Brown-Forman has ever released. Woodford Reserve is Brown-Forman's showpiece distillery on Glenn's Creek in Versailles, Kentucky, distilling since 1812 on the site and running the only triple copper pot stills in bourbon; master distiller Chris Morris sourced the Cognac barrels himself and finished fully matured Woodford — 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley — in them, bottled at 90.4 proof in a decanter made by Baccarat, the French crystal house founded in 1764. The house notes: a balance of crisp American and French oak, complex fruit, subtle spice, and a creamy confectionary finish. The Whiskey Wash tasted it and found the Cognac as grape, dried fruit, and a rounder, richer body over Woodford's fruit-and-spice, while questioning the price against the liquid — which is fair. Expect Woodford Double Oaked's cousin with a French accent: caramel, raisin, orchard fruit, vanilla, and a long, soft, brandy-like finish. Honest note: you're buying a Baccarat decanter with excellent bourbon in it, and it's the most impressive object in the store — for the collector, the milestone gift, and the person who has everything else. Neat, from the decanter, on an occasion. Woodford, Baccarat.
