Inside one of the rickhouses.
Woodford Reserve is unique in the Bourbon industry in that they use three copper pot stills, similar to those used in Scotland. This triple distillation gives the product a distinct flavor.
These are the spirit safes where the spirit passes between each distillation. Chris filled a glass from each box and passed it around for us to see and smell. Spirit from the first box was very oily and raw while each successive box was more refined.
Woodford Reserve offers a wide variety of tours during the week. The ultimate tour is their Bourbon Academy. This all day event is held several times a year and features classroom instruction and hands-on experiences around the distillery with Master Distiller Chris Morris.
Some of the old limestone rickhouses.
Some of the bottling house equipment.
Chris took us to the bottling house next. We saw the bottling line and where barrels are dumped. Chris tipped a barrel that was sitting at the dump station and poured two full glasses to pass around to the students. This was as straight out of the barrel as you are ever going to get and it smelled and tasted fantastic.
Cyprus fermentation tanks.
