Batch Proof is the only way to drink Woodford Reserve straight from the barrel — the Master’s Collection’s annual cask-strength release — and the 2022 batch landed at 118.4 proof. Woodford Reserve is Brown-Forman’s showpiece distillery on Glenn’s Creek in Versailles, Kentucky, distilling since 1812 on the site and running the only triple copper pot stills in bourbon; the standard bottle is cut to 90.4 proof, and Batch Proof is the same bourbon — 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley, triple pot-distilled, aged in heat-cycled warehouses — batched and bottled uncut, a different proof every year. The 2022 is 118.4 proof. Bourbon Bossman on the 118.4: the Woodford signature amplified — dried fruit, vanilla, toasted oak, and rye spice with the body the 90-proof can’t show, and a long, warm finish. The Whiskey Wash ranks Batch Proof fourth of every Woodford for old leather, buttery corn, and cherry that opens with time. Expect Woodford’s fruit-and-spice pot-still character at full weight. Honest note: enthusiasts who write off Woodford as a 90-proof gift bourbon change their minds at Batch Proof — this is the one that shows what the triple pot stills make; the 2022 is a back batch. Neat, a drop of water, time. Batch Proof, 118.4.
