There is no official “best Woodford.” Distiller’s Select Kentucky straight bourbon prints 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV) on woodfordreserve.com. A 1.5-ounce pour is 1.13 NIAAA drinks. Double Oaked, rye, wheat, malt, and Batch Proof are other SKUs — read each neck. This is not a 2022 ranking and not a 2026 MSRP list.
Brown-Forman distills at the Versailles landmark plant. Mash 72/18/10 is trade copy, not treated as a TTB filing. Related: Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace vs Woodford, Elijah Craig vs Woodford.
