Description
World Whiskey Society Reserve Collection 8 Year Bourbon Armagnac Cask Finish is Edition No. 04 in the brand’s Reserve Collection, a limited run of 2,450 bottles. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon spends eight years maturing before finishing in French Armagnac casks, and it’s bottled non-chill filtered with no color added. The whiskey ships in a gothic sculpted decanter with a pewter gargoyle stopper, bottled by World Whiskey Society Co. in Pendergrass, Georgia, and it took home a gold medal at the WSWA Access Live 2024 Wine & Spirits Tasting Competition.
The mash bill of 78% corn, 13% rye, and 9% malted barley carries through into a bright amber pour. The nose opens with dried fig, golden raisin, and apricot alongside toasted oak and warm vanilla, while the palate brings caramel, baked pear, and honey with gentle rye spice over oak and leather undertones. The Armagnac cask finish lingers into a close of dark fruit compote, oak, leather, and soft tannin.
The sculpted decanter and capped bottle count make this a natural addition to a collector’s shelf, and it pairs well alongside other limited-release bourbons in the lineup for anyone building out a cask-finished whiskey collection. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
