From the moment you lay eyes on the Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition, it’s clear this is no ordinary bourbon.

The decanter, with its timeless design and impeccable craftsmanship, is a nod to the rich traditions of French crystal-making, ensuring that every pour is a visual delight.
The bourbon inside this magnificent vessel is equally extraordinary. Woodford Reserve has meticulously crafted this edition by aging their finest Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey in American oak barrels for an impressive seven years. This extended aging period allows the whiskey to develop a profound complexity and depth of character. But the journey doesn’t end there. To impart an unparalleled richness and to marry American heritage with French luxury, the bourbon is finished in hand-selected XO Cognac casks from France, infusing it with a layer of sophistication and subtlety that is truly remarkable.
On the nose, the Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition tantalizes with a bouquet of rich, creamy vanilla and dark chocolate, interwoven with notes of dried fruit, caramel, and toasted oak. As you take your first sip, your palate is greeted by an exceptionally smooth and velvety texture, revealing a harmonious blend of flavors. The initial sweetness of caramel and toffee is perfectly balanced by the spice of cinnamon and nutmeg, followed by a delightful hint of dried apricot and fig. The influence of the cognac casks is evident in the elegant undertones of rich, dark fruit and the subtle whisper of oak.
The finish is long, warm, and satisfyingly smooth, with lingering notes of sweet vanilla and spice, leaving a lasting impression that beckons you to savor each sip. This bourbon is not just a drink; it's an experience, a journey through the heritage of Kentucky bourbon and the luxury of French craftsmanship.
