Released in Fall 2019 as the 16th iteration in Woodford's twice-yearly Master's Collection series, this innovative bourbon features a unique mashbill containing 70% corn, 15% chocolate malted rye, and 15% distillers malt. Master Distiller Chris Morris created a decadent expression highlighting rich, dark chocolate notes throughout the nose and palate. The sophisticated straight bourbon showcases Woodford's experimental approach to whiskey-making through this inventive use of chocolate malted rye. 

Cited as a "happy accident" by Master Distiller Chris Morris of Woodford Reserve, the 2021 Distillery Series Chocolate Malt Whisper Straight Bourbon is a meltingly-malty whiskey from the very first pour! Crafted using a sliver (or whisper) of leftover distillate from the 2019 Master's Collection Chocolate Malted Rye in the mix, this beautifully crafted iteration is composed of a mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley and bottled at 90.4-proof. Enjoy a nose full of orchard apples, shaved cedar, mint, and cinnamon over a palate of grated lemon peelings, cherries, vanilla, and dark espresso. A magnificent bourbon from one of Woodford Reserve's most celebrated collections, the Distillery Series 2021 Chocolate Malt Whisper is a pour worth enjoying - over and over again!
