The Woodford Reserve Masters Collection Cherry Wood Smoked Barley is the 12threlease in the series. Cherry Wood Smoked Barley marries innovation with the bourbon industrys historic roots by paying tribute to the craftsmanship and vision of past distillery industry leaders Oscar Pepper and James Crow, who once distilled on the current day site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery.This is one of the first Kentucky Bourbons to use malted barley exposed to cherry wood smoke. With 30% malt content, the Cherry Wood Smoked mash bill has a higher concentration of malt than a traditional bourbon.
