Woodford Reserve Chocolate Whisper Redux 139.4 is a limited-edition whiskey in its Distillery Series, which was created to push the brand’s innovative and creative boundaries.

This whiskey is matured for twelve years. The extra years add new dimensions to this memorable, highly sippable whiskey. The result (according to Woodford Reserve) is a cherry mahogany-colored whiskey that begins with a nose of chocolate, rich toasted oak, clove, and nutmeg. The palate is a mix of cacao nib, dark roasted coffee, dried cherry, cranberry, and charred oak. The finish is loaded with pecan and rich oak.

“It is exciting to see how Chocolate Whisper Redux evolved since its initial release in 2021,” Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall said in a press release.

“A longer barrel age has enhanced its bold flavor notes while preserving the long finish.”
