Origins & Craftsmanship
Baccarat Edition begins as the distillery’s finest-aged Woodford Reserve bourbon, selected from long-matured barrels known for exceptional depth and structure. These bourbons are then transferred into hand-selected XO Cognac casks sourced from France’s most prestigious Cognac houses.
During the finishing period, the bourbon absorbs:
-
Silky dried fruit notes from the Cognac-soaked staves
-
Layers of vanilla, honeyed oak, and floral nuance
-
Elegant tannins that complement its Kentucky sweetness
This marriage of American craftsmanship and French refinement produces a whiskey of remarkable complexity and softness.
Each bottle is housed in a custom Baccarat crystal decanter, crafted using centuries-old French crystal-making techniques—further elevating this release into a category of bespoke luxury.

-

-
“One of the most elegant Woodford releases to date,” praised for balance and sophistication
Critics emphasize its harmony between bold American bourbon notes and refined French oak subtleties.
Tasting Profile
Nose:
A luxurious bouquet of dark chocolate, dried apricot, honeycomb, and toasted oak. Underneath lie notes of fig, candied orange peel, vanilla bean, and soft floral aromatics from the Cognac influence.
Palate:
Silky, rich, and impeccably balanced. Caramel, roasted nuts, and crème brûlée lead into dried fruit, baking spice, and gently spiced oak. The Cognac finish introduces grape skin, honeyed stone fruit, and a velvety depth that complements the bourbon’s natural sweetness.
Finish:
Long, warm, and elegantly layered. Lingering flavors of dark fruit, vanilla, cocoa, oak spice, and a final whisper of Cognac-soaked wood. Smooth, luxurious, and endlessly evolving.
