Typically, the Jefferson County juice is brought to Woodford in barrels to finish aging there. Each bottling batch contains some whiskey from each source but the percentages are never the same. Logic suggests that since Woodford is run to capacity and the brand keeps growing, the Jefferson percentage has gone up, hence the expansion at Woodford.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-17811533637766988942013-06-28T13:49:32.932-05:002013-06-28T13:49:32.932-05:00Gary said . . .

I thought I read somewhere that this was a portion of the production for that label, but that Brown Forman put juice in Woodford Reserve from some of their other distilleries (and aged some elsewhere). <br /><br />Just curious if Chris has a particular ratio of copper-still juice to "other" that he's looking to maintain, or if all WR is made there on-site (and the increase is needed just to keep up with demand)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-14707191680913484432013-06-28T12:16:48.489-05:002013-06-28T12:16:48.489-05:00Aging warehouse now in use has two foot thick lime...Aging warehouse now in use has two foot thick limestone field stone walls and heat system.<br /><br />Warehouses NOT in use are different design using tile exterior.<br /><br />My belief Woodford Reserve intends to continue with their "Historic Look & Design" for new aging warehouses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-60694887653425768442013-06-28T09:13:14.398-05:002013-06-28T09:13:14.398-05:00This has been a long time coming for Woodford!This has been a long time coming for Woodford!Kyle Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171552065638778876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-1122082736048143722013-06-28T08:47:14.141-05:002013-06-28T08:47:14.141-05:00$3 mills for 15 jobs?
