This release puts the barrel itself at the center of the experience, aged nine years in custom barrels made from staves exposed to the elements for five to seven years. Bottled at 100.4 proof (50.2% ABV), ten proof points above the flagship Woodford Reserve bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eYears of Outdoor Seasoning, One Barrel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile traditional bourbon barrels rely on white oak seasoned outdoors for months to a year, Super Seasoned Oak uses staves exposed to the elements for five to seven years before being coopered into barrels. Under the leadership of Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall, this intensive seasoning reduces harsh green tannins, opens up the wood grain, and concentrates desirable sugars within the oak, imparting deep spice, toasted sweetness, and dark fruit complexity to the mature bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePart of a Limited Experimental Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Master's Collection exists to explore a single variable at a time in bourbon production, and Super Seasoned Oak is one of its most instructive entries yet. Released in limited quantities starting September 2026, it's built for bourbon drinkers who appreciate the interplay between caramelized sugar, vanilla, toasted nuts, baking spice, dark chocolate, and heavily seasoned wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e rich caramel and vanilla, with almond, cherry, and cinnamon-dusted dried red apple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e a velvet current of vanilla and caramel, brightened with orange oils, cinnamon, and clove.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e sweet, with warm cinnamon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat to take in its full oak-forward complexity, or build it into an Old Fashioned where its bold proof and seasoned oak character can shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woodford Reserve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky straight bourbon, Master's Collection series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Master's Collection No. 22, Super Seasoned Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50.2% (100.4 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Versailles, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the proof of Super Seasoned Oak?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is bottled at 100.4 proof, which is 50.2% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this release different?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts barrels are made from staves exposed to the elements for five to seven years before being coopered, far longer than the months to one year used for traditional bourbon barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this a limited release?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
