About this bottle

Woodford Reserve's Toasted Oak Rye is the second in a series of three ryes slated for release in 2017 as part of their Distillery Series. The Toasted Oak is made by finishing Woodford's Master's Collection Rye for an additional two years in fresh barrels that used to age Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bourbon. It is sold at the distillery in 375ml bottles.

The 4.00 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
