Woodford Reserve

I have to again disclose up front that I am not a great enjoyer of wheat-influenced bourbons like this one. So keep that in mind.

To me, this would be a great whiskey for those who are Maker's Mark drinkers but want to be a little different. A little. Because to me, the two are eerily similar. But then again, maybe I just tend to lump together the old-school traditional bourbons.

Just read my Maker's Mark review and it will pretty much cover my impressions of Woodford Reserve. Although Maker's might have a tad more mojo.

It's what I picture old-line Kentucky power brokers sipping as they relax by the fire at night. Very traditional, austere and comforting in a way.

But to my palate, kind of boring and unremarkable.

As I've said before, color me contrarian, but that's the way I taste it.
