Any of you Bourbon drinkers have an opinion? Just picked up a bottle to try. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.totalwine.com/_static/webupload/730/1_120640750_3.jpg)

It's good. They take regular Woodford Reserve (which is good stuff) and make it even better.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

The top half is good.
The bottom half will give you a headache.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

I had a sample a couple of months ago during a distillery tour. It's better than the WR-regular.

It's alright, but not a thriller in my book. Especially at the price.

Oh. They talked about that a little on the tour. Sort of like, we could tell you but then we'd have to kill you.
IIRC, the Double Oaked is non-chill filtered and the WR is. (Could be wrong.) There was a definite buttery finish to the DO that wasn't evident in the WR.
One of the funniest parts of the tour was the 17-year-old cat that lives in the aging rooms. You walk in and the Angels' Share is all over you. No wonder the cat bunks there. He's half-drunk the whole time on fumes.

I'd hope so. I bought a bottle of the regular after hearing everyone here speak highly of it and it did nothing for me.

Well, keep in mind that I'm a scotch drinker, and most bourbons do nothing for me, anyway. So it's better, but that only means it's better than something you weren't impressed with.

Here on base there is just a ten dollar difference in price between the two. 41/51 more or less

so mathman, your opinion and mode to consume? Good bourbon, but not a value. The additional "wooding" this spirit receives doesn't lift it above the regular Woodford for me. Certainly not at the price premium. I tend to reach for the regular one, even when there's no cost involved at my liquor salesman friend's home. I drink most sipping whiskey neat, in a Glencairn glass. ![[Linked Image]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/Glencairn_Whisky_Glass.jpg) If a whiskey is a bit hot on the palate for whatever reason, cut it slightly with still spring water. No ice cubes, chill rocks, or heavily chilled water.

Well IT IS Bourbon, and well I'm sure I'll try it sometime. Only because-IT IS Bourbon.
