Flavor Profile Differences
The gap between these two is mostly about spice.
- Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #011 6 Year Wheated: A very high-wheat bourbon bottled at cask strength. Nearly half the grain is wheat, so it is honeyed and candy-sweet with bright citrus and cherry rather than rye spice.
- Woodford Reserve: The most widely poured premium bourbon in America, and a genuinely well-made one. Dried fruit and cocoa over a balanced 18% rye mash, finished smooth enough to please almost anyone.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Copper & Cask Small Batch Series #011 6 Year Wheated if you want an extremely wheat-heavy, cask-strength pour that is all honey, candy and citrus.
- Go with Woodford Reserve if you want a polished, widely available crowd-pleaser that never puts a foot wrong at a lower price point.
