I'm a bit surprised I haven't reviewed this before now. I had a Woodford day at the lls a few months ago and purchased Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Rye and Double Oak. I've recorded my impressions of the latter, here are my thoughts on the first. I just cut up two beautiful ripe peaches, fresh from the orchard, and put them into a mason jar. I poured about 500ml of Woodford Reserve over the fruit to let it infuse. I'll keep it sealed and in the refridgerator for the next week or so. I've previously infused 500ml of Old Tub with Medjool dates (3 weeks) and then California golden figs (2 weeks). That project formed a wonderful thick syrup and I'm hoping combining that syrup with the peach-infused Woodford, a shake of Angostura orange bitters and 2 drops of Woodford chocolate bitters. I hope this will create a lush Old Fashioned I'll enjoy next weekend. What I wouldn't enjoy is drinking the rest of this bourbon neat. Between the ethanol nose, clash of bitter and syrup sweet notes on the palate and discombobulated peppery-sour finish, it's just not a dram I'm very enthusiastic about. This tastes like a fast food lab's take on whiskey. I get leather, chewing tobacco, thin vanilla with a goopy topping of sugar, alcohol and walnuts on the palate with a black pepper note on the finish. It's cloying and is acceptable as a free drink on a flight, but it's not something I'm going to pay for again. This just isn't a good bourbon value for money, even though it is perfectly drinkable. I just find it boring and not satisfying. I'd happily drink Elijah Craig Small Batch over this and save $10 per 750 every day of the week and twice on Sunday. My scale is simple. 1 = just trash and 5 = a perfect example of the expression. A bell curve tells us an average product will likely find itself between a 2 and a 3 on this scale. This is a wholly, totally average product with far too much quality competition at this price point for me to recommend it.
