If you like to pair chocolate with your bourbon, Woodford Reserve has a new expression you’ll want to check out. The Kentucky distillery recently released Chocolate Whisper Redux 139.4 as part of its Distillery Series.
The 12-year-old, 139.4 proof bourbon is the highest proof release to come from Woodford Reserve. The distillery said that, thanks to the extra time in the barrel, “the liquid has developed a deeper complexity, offering rich and robust flavors of chocolate and coffee that elevate this expression.”

Tasting Notes (from the distillery):
