Yes woodford is smooth, which I dont always prefer, but is lacking in flavor imo. Turkey 101 isnt a bad bourbon. Always seem to have a handle sitting around. Still hard to beat Eagle rare. Varies bottle to bottle with some being absolutely fantastic.
Scotch, single or blended has a wide range of tastes, from smooth/sweet, like Glemorangie for example, to smoky and "peaty" (my favorite) like Talisker, Lagavulin, etc. Bourbon has a wide range of tastes too, although in my experience not as wide ranging as Scotch Whiskys, specifically the single malts. Taste, like everything else, is a matter of personal preference and of course education of the palate. Like art for example, some think the dogs playing pool on velvet is masterful and prefer it to say, a Velazquez, Goya, or Rembrandt. There's just no telling sometimes.
In general I would probably agree. Highland v Skye v lowland etc.
However, you can get increible variations going the single barrel route for bourbons. We recently went to Woodford to pick out a single barrel and they choose 6 barrels 2 done on one day and 4 on another. Each one tasted distinctly different based on where they were in the Rick house, the wood in the barrels, etc. my group was all amazed. Can't wait to get the one we picked out.
I bought s bottle of Elijah craig...i won't buy another.
I do love Blantons

I used to like smooth, prolly wore my taster out. Now been drinking Old Granddad 100 bottled in bond. Good bite, ice don't hurt it. Only thing I like really smooth anymore .....is skin.
"Course it depends where you are , in or on the way to a hunt may require a variety. From blended to at least on bottle of top notch bourbon. However, i have been pleased to have a cup of Rich& Rare.

Jorge You do realize that single malt will vary slightly in batch to batch that is why they brought out blended to keep the taste constant.I don't trust any whiskeys that have something added for flavor. P.S. did work a liquor store for about 8 years..YLMV Cheers NC

Yes I do, and as a matter of fact, if you talk to the folks that make the stuff, Single Malts used to be the drink of the common folk, whilst the blended stuff was for the blue bloods. It's oly been a recent phenomenon the roles have been reversed..
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
I'm still trying to figure why so many don't like Scotch, 12 year old Glenmorangie is mighty fine sipping to me, could it be a dna deal, i am scotch/irish injun crossbred.

Bourbon??? I can drink it, anything more than a shot an I have an incredible headache the next morning.
RUM? My preferred mixing liquor! For me, hangover proof.
SCOTCH??? Oh Yeah! Single Malt and at least a 'Teen'

Jorge, I'm like muffin with the headaches on the blended varieties, seagrams 7 and crown royal make my head feel like it's been in a shop vise for a week the next morning.
