Updated July 2026.
Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select — the flagship Kentucky straight bourbon — is 90.4 proof / 45.2% ABV on the current brand whiskey page. A 1.5-ounce pour is 1.13 NIAAA standard drinks. Brown-Forman makes it at the Woodford Reserve Distillery (Versailles, Kentucky), a National Historic Landmark. We will not reprint a 2022 price list.
Double Oaked is the same 90.4 on common US bottles (confirm the neck). Rye, Wheat, and Malt are other TTB classes at the same house. Batch Proof is a yearly barrel-proof number — not 90.4. Related: Old Fashioned bourbon, barrel proof.
90.4 vs the rest of the family
| SKU | Typical US proof | 1.5 oz drinks | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distiller’s Select bourbon | 90.4 / 45.2% | 1.13 | woodfordreserve.com “Proof 90.4°” |
| Double Oaked | Usually 90.4 — read the neck | 1.13 if 90.4 | Common US label |
| Rye / Wheat / Malt | Often 90.4 — read the neck | 1.13 if 90.4 | Different TTB class |
| Batch Proof / Master’s Collection | Batch | Do the math | Not a fixed proof |
A 750 mL 45.2% bottle is about 19.1 standard drinks (750 × 0.452 ÷ 17.7). Four 1.5-ounce pours are 4.5 drinks. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Some trade copy publishes a 72% corn / 18% rye / 10% malt mash; the official whiskey page we fetched did not print those percentages, not treated as a TTB filing. Identity: Pour math: whiskey drinks.
