Living in the area of Central KY I always thought water quality played an important role. Woodford reserve gets their water from Glenn's Creek - A 'clean creek' Located in Horse farm country- not much run off from industrial or fretilizer. I;'ve rode my bike Past Wood Reserve many a time. Knob creek gets its water I think from Floyds Creek Have not seen it but its close to Lousiville but I think OK.
Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey gets its water from the KY river. A cesspool. IMHO, So I don't imbibe for that Reason.
BTW Old Crow used to get its water from Glenns creek a few miles below woodford reserve, but never cared for it much - at least lately. Jim Beam- not sure, See many stored at former Old Crow Distilery ware house. so I am confused. BTW Knob Creek 1st & Jack D 2nd my favorite with Woodford Reserve a close 2nd.
Last Jim Beam I poured half of it out.
BTW Bourbon nwas invented by a baptist minister in Georgetown KY (according to an historical Marker there, now Scott County.)
Wild turkey is in Anderson County, Buffalo Trace in Frankin county, Woodford Reserve and Old crow in Woodford Co. Old crow tyhere being shut down, I used to hunt on the property in the late 70's.
Jack Daniels for me is a surprise as we KY'ians know all sewer water flows from KY into Tenn. GRIN
