I received a WR Limited Edition Gift Box for Christmas 2021. The crystal rocks glass that came with, is very heavy and substantial. It is a welcome addition to my small Glencairn collection.
I am sipping it neat from the taller Glencairn glass.
It smells and tastes of Oak, yet finishes sweet & spicy with no bite to speak of.
When I say that I wouldn't buy this again, I mean for personal use. I would keep a bottle of this in my bar for guests and the occasional dabble.
Nose
Oak dominate
Palate
Oak
Finish
Sweet and spicy with no bite

Rich, sweet, and spice. Notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and a little bit of grass in behind the sweetness and spices. Really good one.

I'm not the biggest bourbon fan, but this is generally quite and smooth, with sweet notes of vanilla and a tart spiciness to finish. One of the few bourbons I'd be hapoy to drink neat rather than diluted by Cola!!

Solid whiskey, a bit sweet with woody notes to it, nose has quite a bit of sweetness, palette isn't very sweet, but the finish has quite a bit. Not bad. Don't like it in cocktails at all, but it's decent neat.
Prefer other things at the price, but it's not a terrible buy

Just was not a fan of this. To me I did not get any sweet flavors out of it. It had a hint of vanilla but that's about it in terms of sweetness.

Sweet and caramel heavy on the nose followed by moderate sweetness and mild pepper on the palate. Smooth and easy drinking.
Nose
Pleasantly sweet and lots of caramels with a hint of butter.
Palate
Nice round sweetness initially which moves into a mild pepper note. Nothing harsh.
Finish
The pepperiness holds a little while on the palate when the other flavors fade away relatively quickly.

If i did a blind test on this and one of the questions was, from what country do I believe it originated from, I would've said that it could've only been made in the States! A purely strong 'Murican whiskey. Drunk straight... unless you're John Wayne, it could use a trio of ice cubes. Will try next time.

After some time, I poured me a dram of this Woodford Reserve. I smell glue, corn, honey and caramel. On the palate oak, glue, hints of fruits. Finish is warming and short to medium. Good value for money but not at all extraudinary.
