The “low” 119.5 proof is misleading, of course: This is almost 60% alcohol and it shows. Time in glass helps the whiskey develop its flavors more fully, which are led by a surprising amount of dark, pruny fruit and chocolate notes. Secondary flavors of orange peel — or chocolate-covered orange slices — add a light citrus element, while menthol builds on the midpalate as it crests into the finish.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (90 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Carrying an increase in price over last year’s release, this Woodford Reserve Batch Proof edition delivers a sip that aims to please the masses.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Jordan Moskal, Breaking Bourbon (Well Above Average)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"While Woodford Reserve Batch Proof 119.5 doesn’t rank among the punchiest or most complex bourbons I’ve sampled recently, it accomplishes its task well: highlighting the brand’s distillate in a high-proof blend with both balance and lingering flavor. Especially on the nose, I’m not sure infrequent Woodford drinkers would immediately identify it with the distillery; as such, it could be an especially good gateway to turn folks onto the brand and expand perceptions a bit. I appreciate that McCall and her team are prioritizing quality over simply creating a “hotter” version of Woodford Reserve’s normal offering. At the end of the day, tasty whiskey is what tends to win hearts and minds.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - David Thomas Tao, VinePair (93 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The nose is like white chocolate chip banana nut bread with dried cherries.

Spice is all-encompassing on the palate, which is hot, but not too much so—a feat given the high-strength ABV. More bright berry notes appear, balanced nicely by dark-roast drip coffee, barrel char, wood spice, rooibos tea, and coffee cake. The finish sees more of that spiced cinnamon coffee cake and some cherry, and while it has some teeth to it, it never bites.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Julia Higgins, Whisky Advocate (92 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"critic-scores\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"critics\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle-inverse\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle-inverse__inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle-inverse__content\"\u003e91.5 - \u003cspan class=\"agg-score\"\u003eAggregate Score\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"critics\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__content\"\u003e90 -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"critic-author\"\u003eDrinkhacker\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"critics\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__content\"\u003e91 - \u003cspan class=\"critic-author\"\u003eDistiller\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"critics\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__content\"\u003e93 - \u003cspan class=\"critic-author\"\u003eVinePair\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"critics\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"circle__content\"\u003e92 - \u003cspan class=\"critic-author\"\u003eWhisky Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Liquorworld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51354873037117,"sku":null,"price":249.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/5922\/5405\/files\/WoodfordReserveMaster_sCollectionBatchProof2025ReleaseKentuckyStraightBourbonWhiskey700mL.webp?v=1770270829","url":"https:\/\/liquorworld.com.au\/products\/woodford-reserve-masters-collection-batch-proof-2025-release-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-700ml","provider":"Liquor World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
