Woodford Reserve's Master's Collection: adding spice to their signature balance. 121.2 proof cask strength, high rye recipe. #WoodfordReserve #Bourbon #WhiskeyLover #CaskStrength #KentuckyBourbon #MastersCollection #WhiskeyReview #BourbonLife
Adding water to bourbon lowers the proof. This is key for two reasons: it dilutes the distillate and the water itself. Simple, but crucial. #Bourbon #Whiskey #Distillation #Proofing #CraftSpirits #SpiritsEducation
Syrupy, dark, rich, distilled. Concentrated flavors and aromas. Deep caramel, brown sugar, dark chocolate, dried fruit sweetness, rye spice, toasted oak, and barrel char. #FlavorConcentrate #AromaRich #DeepCaramel #BrownSugar #DarkChocolate #DriedFruit #RyeSpice #ToastedOak #BarrelChar #Foodie
Cask strength or barrel strength? It can be both from ONE barrel! Or blended from ALL casks. The key? No dilution. Pure spirit. #Whiskey #Bourbon #CaskStrength #BarrelProof #WhiskeyLover #Spirits #Scotch #WhiskeyEducation
We are coming in HOT 🔥🥵today with 3 barrel proof faves - Four Roses, Old Forrester, and Jefferson’s Reserve. The Four Roses was a pricey pick - was it worth it?!

Sazerac, Heaven Hill, Brown-Forman: the big boys of bourbon. We're diving into these heavyweights. #Bourbon #Whiskey #Spirits #HeavenHill #Sazerac #BrownForman #WhiskeyLover #BourbonLife
Elijah Craig? More fruit, fuller mouthfeel. The dried fruit is the big difference. If I had to pick one, it's Elijah Craig. Tasty enough to sip. #whiskeyreview #bourbon #bourbontasting #elijahcraig #whiskey #drinkreview #spirits
Aging bourbon means losing some to evaporation, the 'angel's share.' Adding water extends the distillate, making it go further. Minimum 4 years aging means some loss. #BourbonAging #WhiskeyFacts #SpiritsEducation #AngelShare #Distillation #BourbonLover #WhiskeyCommunity
Elijah Craig's annual barrel proofs reveal age and proof. This A125 is 118.2 proof, aged 10 years & 7 months. Worth the $75? #ElijahCraig #Bourbon #WhiskeyReview #BarrelProof #BourbonLover #Whiskey
118.2 proof. Don't let the slightly lower proof fool you. This Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is still bold, fully mature, and cask strength. #Bourbon #ElijahCraig #BarrelProof #Whiskey #CaskStrength #BourbonLover #WhiskeyGram #Alcohol
