Review:
Woodford Reserve was the whisky that got me off Gin & Tonic’s and into the world of brown spirits around 8 years ago. I had a business trip to Kentucky and part of the trip was a Bourbon Distillery tour and a cocktail party at the facility. I switched that night to whisky and never looked back. I remember Mad Men was starting up on television and it was all the buzz, but what I remember more was the massive shift towards whisky in bars as the second season aired.
This Bourbon is tripled distilled, smooth, well balanced and a bit more on the sweet side in flavor. It makes for a great drink anyway you like it and great gift in Duty Free if you are visiting someone overseas. Also, the flat bottle is excellent to hid at work in your book case, file cabinet or false panels of modern cubicle furniture (speaking from experience). Priced around $35-$45 it is a great value and will not disappoint.
If you like it, drink it! – Christopher
