Reviewed September 2014Look for a gorgeous copper hue with orange highlights, a butterscotch-like aroma and soft feel. This Bourbon offers lots of fruit on the palate--orange, apricot, tropical fruit--that finish long, with caramel and a bracing burnt-orange peel note. (KN)

The same mashbill as its sister brand Old Forester, Woodford Reserve is an unknown combination from Brown-Forman's Louisville and Versailles distilleries. There's no age statement, but Woodford is around 7 years old. The key here is balance. One note never overtakes the other; nutmeg, mango, baked apples, cinnamon, blueberry pie, and vanilla seem to walk in perfect harmony. Then we find the gingerbread, caramel, and vanilla jumping into layers of smoke and spice. (FM, Spring-2016
Notes
*Double Gold Medal* at the 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition & *Recommended Choice* of Whisky Magazine. From Maichael Bonadies of Saveur Magazine: "Extremely well-balanced and crafted. Charming and intriguing, with nuanced aromas and flavors of spice (nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon), butterscotch, toasted vanilla, grilled citrus, and pralines."
