US-based distillery Woodford Reserve has unveiled the latest expression in the limited edition Master's Collection.

The drink is finished in an American brandy cask, and so is called Brandy Cask Finish.

The Master's Collection was first launched in 2006.

"This expression highlights Woodford Reserve's creativity and dedication to innovation."

Woodford Reserve master distiller Chris Morris started with fully mature Woodford Reserve bourbon and then finished in brandy casks for nearly two years. Once the maturation period was complete, the finished casks were batched together to mould this whiskey with crisp caramel and dried fruit notes.

The rich dried fruit and nut notes were developed from the grain recipe and fermentation process.

Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine or fruit and is often aged in oak barrels.

Brandy does not need a new, charred barrel, permitting their barrels to be used several times, keeping it apart from bourbon.

Morris said: "As with every Master's Collection release, this expression highlights Woodford Reserve's creativity and dedication to innovation. I'm extremely proud to say we've yet again done something very special.

"Among Woodford Reserve's many flavours include fruit and spice notes which the brandy casks emphasize.

"Both products showcase rich, intense vanilla notes from their barrel maturation making the combination of the two a true success."

Brandy Cask Finish, with 90.4 proof, will be available in stores in the US and in limited international markets from November, with a retail price of $99.99 for a 750ml bottle.style and straightforward presentation.
