A good Manhattan starts long before the glass is chilled. Woodford Reserve Bourbon-Infused Cocktail Cherries from Bourbon Barrel Foods LLC are steeped in the same Kentucky straight bourbon that defines the Woodford Reserve name — meaning the flavor in the jar is the same flavor in the bottle, not an approximation of it. For the home bartender who reads the back label and notices when something is done properly, that distinction matters.
These are cocktail cherries built for whiskey-forward drinks. Muddle one into an Old Fashioned and the bourbon note doesn't fight the base spirit — it deepens it. Drop one into a Manhattan and the garnish becomes part of the drink's architecture, not an afterthought resting on the rim. They bring both function and a kind of visual specificity that reads well in a coupe glass on a well-set table — the kind of detail that a Lansdowne gathering or a Breaux-adjacent dinner party tends to reward quietly.
Once opened, store the Woodford Reserve Bourbon-Infused Cocktail Cherries in the refrigerator with the lid sealed tightly. Keep them away from prolonged light exposure, which can affect both color and flavor over time. The jar itself requires no special handling — wipe the rim clean before replacing the lid, and use a clean utensil each time you reach in. Properly stored, these bourbon cocktail cherries hold their flavor and texture well into repeated use, making the jar a reliable fixture at the home bar rather than a one-occasion novelty. Bourbon Barrel Foods LLC recommends refrigeration after opening.
