Now we're talking! A great bourbon. On the nose it is passion fruit and malt. Taste is sharp and very big/full. Finish has mango and tropical fruit on top of the vanilla. Long ginish. A "big"and very satisfying bourbon.
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's headphone, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's amplifier, nor his source, nor his cables, nor his power supply, nor anything that is thy neighbour's" (HF. 20:17)
Woodford Reserve
Strongly alcoholic on the nose, but not overpoweringly so. Aniseed and peppermint also prominent on the nose. Taste is disappointingly "thin", with a strong licorice flavor dominating toward the rather light finish. Disappointingly mediocre.
With water this one improve a LOT. The thin-ness noted before now becomes a softness and a smooth flavor of maple syrup and orange fruitcake. Extremely good with 4 parts whiskey to 1 part water.
I was looking forward to picking up a bottle of this. Now I am starting to think not. What would you recommend, Bourbon-wise, to an avid Scotch Whisky fan (both blended and single malt) who also appreciates Irish Whisky, but hates Tennessee Whisky?

I was born and raised in KY and have been to Woodford Reserve a couple times. It's a very small distillery. I think they make something like 40 barrels a year. That's it! Too bad I'm not much of a bourbon drinker. Gives me too much of a headache. Anyone know any cures for the congeneric hangonvers? I might like to be more of a bourbon drinker in the future.

If you hate Tenn whisky, I kinda doubt that you'll like bourbon. You might try some Rye--the yellow label Jim Beam Rye actually gets a high ratings in the "Whisky Bible" But the world of Scotch is pretty big!
