My Notes
I got this bottle for an end of year gift from my team in 2022. I think everyone who has had an old fashioned out at a bar has probably had some woodford reserve. Its the more refined Jack Daniels, a lot more flavor with less burn.
This is a sweet drink, lots of fruit, caramel, toffee, spices, and a bit of grain coming through too. This is a fine bottle, a great bottle to keep on hand, or give as a gift. Nobody is going to dislike this bourbon. This is appealing to everyone on purpose, its a macro produced bottle.
GREAT for mixing into different cocktails, old fashioned with woodford is great! can sip it neat, pretty sweet and not a lot of bourbon burn on this one.

How to Taste
With your whiskey at room temperature, put the glass near your nose and close your eyes and inhale. What do
you smell?
Drink a sip, just enough to cover your tounge and swish it around front, left and right. then down the
hatch. What do you taste?
If it burns a little, maybe try to add a couple drops of water. Otherwise, try again - usually after the
initial burn, you may get some of the flavors you are looking for.
