I don't think I've had Woodford Reserve since I was drunk at their distillery over 3 years ago, so I picked up a 50 mL for $2.75. (In NC the 750 mL is $39.95.) Right away I get a nice punch of alcohol and oak vanilla on the nose, more pleasant than other bourbons I've had recently at similar proofs. I expected a harsher taste/finish like I get with Elijah Craig, Knob Creek, and 1792 Small Batches, but surprisingly the taste is smoother than the nose. I don't think it's as harsh as the Expert Review suggests, and I think it's a better overall bourbon than the flagship offerings of other big distilleries. At this price though, I'd be hesitant to say it's something I'd readily buy in the near future but it's still a solid pick.
