The concept behind Batch Proof is a straightforward but compelling one: take more than 100 Woodford Reserve barrels drawn from multiple production dates, various warehouses, and different floors within those warehouses, blend them together into a single batch, and then bottle the result at exactly the proof the batch comes out of the barrels — no dilution, no adjustment. Where the standard Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon is presented at 90.4 proof, Batch Proof strips away that final step and delivers the same distillery character at its natural batch strength. The result is a richer, more concentrated expression of Woodford's trademark flavor range — the sweet vanilla, toasted oak, fruit, and spice the distillery is known for, turned up to a higher register. At 119.5 proof and 59.75% ABV, this release is one of the more accessible high-proof expressions in the Master's Collection lineup, and one that rewards both the dedicated Woodford fan and the curious high-proof explorer equally. Presented in the distinctive Woodford Reserve 700ml decanter-style bottle with walnut wood stopper and Elizabeth McCall's signature on the capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWoodford Reserve Distillery, Versailles, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown-Forman\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaster Distiller\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElizabeth McCall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Batch Proof, Undiluted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaster's Collection — Batch Proof (Annual Limited Release since 2018)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBatch Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100+ barrels blended from multiple production dates, warehouses, and floor levels — bottled at natural batch proof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59.75%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119.5 Proof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Woodford ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45.2% (90.4 proof) — Batch Proof delivers the same distillery at natural strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky — Versailles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWoodford Reserve decanter bottle, walnut wood stopper, Master Distiller signature capsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep burnished amber — rich and warm, the natural color of 100+ barrels from across the Woodford warehouses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peanut butter toffee cookies, dried fruit, vanilla, and a dusting of cinnamon spice.

Batch Proof skips that final step: more than 100 barrels from various production dates, warehouses, and floor levels are blended together, and the resulting batch is bottled at exactly the proof it comes out of the barrel. No water added, no adjustment. This delivers the same Woodford distillery character — the vanilla, fruit, oak, and spice — at its full natural intensity. The proof varies year to year depending on which barrels were selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the proof change each year?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall selects a different set of barrels each release, and each batch emerges from the barrels at its own natural proof depending on how those specific barrels matured. Since 2018 the range has run from 118.4 to 123.4 proof. The 119.5 proof of this release is one of the lower end of that range, making it among the more approachable releases in the series without sacrificing depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 700ml format different from what is sold in the US?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — Woodford Reserve Batch Proof is sold in 750ml bottles in US domestic markets. This 700ml bottle is the international\/export market format, identical in liquid but in the slightly smaller standard global bottle size.
