Upon opening this one I smelled the normal uneventful Woodford smell but the flavor made up for that. This is a very nice addition to the Woodford family and at its price point is well worth having in the home bar. I enjoyed this neat and also put a 1/4 cube in to open it up a bit and it was really tasteful. Though it has some flavor to it the finish is pretty quick. Solid everyday pour for the money.
