DUBAI, UAE- In honour of their 15-year successful alliance, the renowned American whiskey producer Woodford Reserve and Emirates (EK) have joined forces to introduce an exclusive and limited-edition Bourbon blend.
Emirates will exclusively offer this special blend to passengers on specific flights during July.
It is distinguished as the sole airline to introduce a personally curated private whiskey blend. Further, Emirates will present the Woodford Reserve Emirates Personal Selection to its First and Business Class travellers.
Passengers can savour this exceptional beverage in the iconic A380 Onboard Lounge. Further, available on selected routes spanning the United Kingdom, the United States, Australasia, and Southeast Asia.
Selection of The Unique Blend
Emirates, in collaboration with Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Chris Morris, personally handpicked a finely blended bourbon. Further Emanating enticing aromas of dried fruits, sweet honey, vanilla buttercream, and charred wood.
The taste profile of this exquisite bourbon is luxuriously rich and well-rounded. Boasting flavours of cherry, chocolate, toffee, and caramel. The finish is velvety smooth and creamy, leaving a long, warm, and satisfying aftertaste.
Crafted exclusively for Emirates, Woodford Reserve Emirates Personal Selection is a truly unique small-batch bourbon made from only 2 barrels. These barrels were meticulously blended to create an unparalleled flavour profile that cannot be replicated.
In contrast, a standard batch of Woodford Reserve Bourbon typically consists of approximately 120 barrels. Resulting in a well-balanced flavour profile across all five taste categories. However, with just 2 barrels, this limited batch delivers a complex and intense flavour experience that is truly one-of-a-kind.
