The mashbill for Woodford Reserve features a high percentage of rye: 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malt. The whiskey is also unusual for being triple distilled and having the lowest proof upon entering the barrel where it matures for at least six years. A must have Kentucky bourbon. Makes a wonderful Old-Fashioned cocktail!
Quite thick and creamy. There are notes of honey and spice, leather, a touch of cocoa, a little smoke, toasty oak and vanilla cream with a hint of butterscotch.
Thick and full. There are notes of espresso beans, winter spice, cereal sweetness, plenty of rye, ground ginger, almond oil, toasty oak and a little rum.
Long and mature with notes of cereals and toasty oaken spice.

My go-to bourbon. A+ fantastic! Best with a very small glass and three small ice cubes. Wait two minutes and then it's pure Heaven! Love Woodford immensely.
I think I’d get bored of this quickly as a Sipper, however I’ll never get bored of this as an old fashioned mainstay. Blimey, old fashions will never be the same. Be careful of the cork though, I notice every time, the cork barely seals the bottle mainly due to the tapered inner bottle neck. I keep a spare bruichladdich cork which seems to seal it nicely. Please fix this issue Diageo!!!
Gentleman Jack is much better.
Ok - so it tastes so different you know it's not whisky -- but does that make it good? To me...tasted like old ginger snaps mixed with stale cheerioes and old Russian rye bread. Much too complicated for a Wisconsin whisky old fashioned :(.
