WOODFORD RESERVE RELEASES NEW DISTILLERY SERIES: CHOCOLATE WHISPER REDUX 139.4

Highest proof offering since the brand’s founding in 1996

Versailles, KY (February 20, 2025) — Today, Woodford Reserve releases a new limited-edition bottle as a part of its Distillery Series – Chocolate Whisper Redux 139.

This new expression marks a milestone for Woodford Reserve, showcasing the brand’s highest-proof offering to date at 139.4 proof. The 12-year-old liquid builds upon the foundation of the original Chocolate Whisper release from 2021. With additional years in the barrel, the liquid has developed a deeper complexity, offering rich and robust flavors of chocolate and coffee that elevate this expression. 

“It is exciting to see how Chocolate Whisper Redux evolved since its initial release in 2021,” said Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall. “A longer barrel age has enhanced its bold flavor notes while preserving the long finish.”

Chocolate Whisper Redux 139.4 is part of Woodford Reserve’s Distillery Series, which was created to push Woodford Reserve’s creative boundaries and introduce new expressions to the market. 

A limited quantity will be available at Woodford Reserve Distillery starting at 9am EST on February 20th is available for shipping in states where it is legal (KY, NH, NE, ND, D.C. only) in the online store at shop.woodfordreserve.com and at select Kentucky retailers.
