Woodford Reserve Bourbon

There is a nice herbal note, almost green tea, citrus, maple sweetness, vanilla, oak, wood.

Smokey and tries to be sweet but finishes sour.

I've been drinking this for years but might as well do a proper review. Even before I knew anything about whisky, I was a fan of WR bourbon. It was one of the first spirits I thought about tasting as opposed to pouring down my gullet. Nose: Caramel, maple, oak and dried fruits. Palate: Classic bourbon profiles, a little watery mouthfeel. Smooth, oaky and lots of caramel, vanilla and burnt sugar. Finish: Medium length and sweetness dries up. Fruity and tannic. This and Elijah Craig small batch are my go-to every day bourbons. I think Distiller's rating is a little high, but I also don't get the people that say it's overrated. It may not be tremendously complex, but damn it's a balanced and tasty dram.
