Woodford Reserve Bourbon Personal Selection — "Pendry San Diego"
Personally Selected by the Pendry San Diego, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 90.4 Proof, 1 Liter
Through its Personal Selection program, Woodford Reserve invites restaurants, hotels, retailers and whiskey clubs to the distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, to taste through mature barrels and craft their own batch of Distiller's Select bourbon. This bottling was personally selected by the Pendry San Diego, the luxury hotel in the heart of the city's Gaslamp Quarter, on March 14, 2024, and carries the hotel's name on the label.
Like all Woodford Reserve, it begins with the distillery's 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley mash bill, is triple distilled in copper pot stills, and matures in heat-cycled stone warehouses before being bottled at the signature 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV). What makes a Personal Selection different is the hands-on choice of barrels, so each batch has its own character, and this one comes in a full 1 liter bottle, a third more bourbon than the standard 750mL.
Tasting Notes
Woodford's signature balance of dried fruit, vanilla and toffee, with rich caramel and cocoa, a touch of spice and toasted oak, and a long, silky finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Woodford Reserve Personal Selection?
It is Woodford Reserve's private barrel program. A group visits the distillery, tastes through mature barrels and chooses the ones that go into their own batch, which is then bottled with their name on the label.
Who selected this bourbon?
The Pendry San Diego, the luxury hotel in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, selected this batch on March 14, 2024.
How is it different from regular Woodford Reserve?
The mash bill, proof and process are the same as Distiller's Select. The difference is the barrel choice: a Personal Selection is a small, hand-picked batch, so its flavor profile is unique to that selection and cannot be repeated.
What size is the bottle?
This is a 1 liter bottle, about a third more bourbon than a standard 750mL.
What does it taste like?
Expect Woodford's hallmark dried fruit, vanilla and toffee, with caramel, cocoa, gentle spice and toasted oak, and a long, smooth finish.
