Description
53% Rye — Spice-Forward Kentucky Whiskey
Bourbon must be at least 51% corn; rye whiskey must be at least 51% rye. Woodford's rye uses a 53% rye grain recipe, which puts it just over the line and gives it the pepper and spice that separate rye from bourbon — without abandoning the vanilla and honey that Woodford is known for.
Part of the Proprietary Batch Series, selected by the Master Distiller. This is the 1 litre format.

How It Differs From the Bourbon
Grain bill and strength. The bourbon is corn-led — sweeter, rounder, more caramel. The rye is spice-led — drier, peppery, with a longer finish, and bottled two points stronger. For a Manhattan or a Sazerac, use the rye.
How to Serve
Neat, over a large cube, or in a stirred cocktail. A Manhattan made with rye tastes like the drink was originally written, where a bourbon version comes out sweeter.

- Sipping neat
