Woodford Reserve Master's Collection 1838 Style White Corn Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
In stock
The 10th release of the Woodford Reserve's Master's Collection is triple distilled and made using white corn, rather than the usual yellow.
This release was inspired by the work of master distiller James Crow and distilling pioneer Oscar Pepper, who were making whiskey on the Woodford Reserve site back in the early 1800's.
The use of white corn has resulted in a lighter and sweeter Woodford, with notes of lemon sherbet, vanilla custard, shortbread, white pepper and butter.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale straw-gold with a light, sunlit glow.
Nose
Delicate and bright, this nose opens with lemon sherbet and vanilla custard, unfolding into hints of shortbread. A whisper of white pepper adds gentle spice, while butter lingers in a silky, corn-bright sweetness—an airy, refined bourbon aroma that nods to the 1838 white-corn lineage.
Palate
Silky and light on the palate, with a citrus-sweet brightness. Lemon sherbet leads into creamy vanilla custard and buttered shortbread, a soft core of sweetness that lingers. A whisper of white pepper adds lift and a gentle spice that cleanly fades into a polished, approachable finish.
Finish
Long, creamy finish that echoes lemon sherbet and vanilla custard, with soft butter and shortbread lingering on the palate. A gentle peppery lift tightens the tail, leaving a warm, sweet-spiced glow that slowly fades into a citrus-vanilla echo.
