The Exclusive Experience of Woodford Reserve’s New Small-Batch Bourbon
For most, the highlight of an international flight might be an on-board movie, a nap, or perhaps a decent inflight meal. However, if you find yourself in the premium cabins of Emirates flights, you could be one of the lucky few to experience an extra special treat. We’re talking about the exclusive joy of sipping on Woodford Reserve’s new small-batch bourbon before anyone else in the world.
A Well-Crafted Blend Designed for High Altitudes
In an exciting collaboration with Emirates, American whisky producer Woodford Reserve has created a meticulously crafted, travel retail exclusive small-batch, the Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition. This one-of-a-kind bourbon blend has been designed specifically to be savoured thousands of feet up in the air, where the senses, particularly taste, are known to behave differently.
A Perfect Harmony of Flavours
This wonderful marriage of American craftsmanship and French luxury presents a palate of rich fruit, including apple and cherry flavours, amplified by light spice and oak notes. It’s a distinctive flavour profile that has been painstakingly crafted to enhance the tasting experience at high altitudes. Worldwide flights usually dull the sense of taste; however, the Woodford Reserve bourbon challenges this perception by delivering a memorable and smooth bourbon experience while cruising the skies.
Premium Presentation
The bourbon doesn’t just serve up a delightful taste. It looks the part too. Each batch of the Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition is presented in a stunning Baccarat crystal decanter, featuring the iconic Baccarat “lady leg” design and Woodford Reserve’s signature copper inlays. It’s a luxurious package that befits the bespoke nature of this exclusive bourbon.
An Elegant Addition to the Emirates Premium Cabin Experience
Serving the Woodford Reserve bourbon is only part of the Emirates premium cabin experience. Alongside it, passengers can enjoy an extensive menu featuring eclectic dishes from around the globe, adjust their seats to their comfort preference, and relax in high-quality, soft bedding. Coupled with this bourbon’s refined taste, it all culminates into an experience that can only be described as supreme luxury.
A Broader Liquor Selection
This exclusive bourbon isn’t the only star of Emirates’ drinks offering. The airline also features an extensive selection of world-class spirits, wines, and cocktails from across the globe. From high-end champagne to classic cocktails, there’s a beverage for every discerning palate.
A Bitter-Sweet Reality
But before you get your hopes too high, remember who this experience is for. Unless you find yourself aboard the premium cabins of Emirates where this exclusive small-batch bourbon is being served, you might need to wait a bit longer to try the bourbon on land. For now, it seems we’ll have to make do with admiring it from a distance and imagining the unique taste.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Woodford Reserve and Emirates airline to produce this small-batch bourbon exclusively for Emirates’ premium cabin passengers illustrates the lengths to which brands are willing to go to enhance the customer experience. This is no mere marketing gimmick – it’s about providing a unique and memorable experience. For those lucky enough to try it, the bourbon undoubtedly sets a new high standard for in-flight drinking.
