(all others use Coffey stills.) Their first still is unique in that it takes the entire mash (solids too), just like a coffey still. That causes it to wear out quicker. As for their ingredients, no secret there:<br />72% Corn, 18% Rye, 10% Malted Barley. Fermented for 5-6 days. Comes out of still #3 at 158 proof. They put it in the barrel at 110 proof. The mash bill also calls for 6% sour mash (that is.. solids from a previously distilled batch.) The water for the mash is typical of Kentucky in that it's limestone. The limestone is why so many distilleries are in Kentucky and Tennessee.<br />I've been to Woodford Reserve Bourbon Academy 3 times. It's a great time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
