Review: Woodford’s wheat whiskey is a bit dustier and dough like than a bourbon but could easily be confused. Its nose and taste are subtle without seeming watered down. The longer it sits with you the more flavor components come to life. Slightly fruity while being oaky and sweet. It is a nice easy drinking whiskey and a nice slight contrast to your everyday bourbon. Cheers!
My Rating: Stock it if you want something different on your bar!
May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey.
Cheers!
