I am a fan of the Woodford Reserve bourbon. At $25-30, I think it's a good value. It usually receives high praise from expert reviews too.

Not a Woodford fan but I'm a big fan of bourbon. Weller Antique is the best bourbon out there right now. Hard to find at retail price. My favorite; HenryMckenna 10yr has doubled in price to $50 for 750ml.
Woodford Reserve is the best bourbon in it's price range. Woodford's Double Oaked is outstanding. I'm a Four Roses Single Barrel fan at the moment
First choice, always... thank you Delta Airlines, first class upgrades for making it so.

A fine whiskey. Can't go wrong with a sippin' whiskey like that.
As sheepdawg wrote, the double oaked is outstanding.
One of those whiskeys I treat myself to once or twice a year.

I’m a big fan of wheated bourbons. In the early 90’s I worked at the Stitzell-Weller Distillery in Louisville. I still have a few bottles of Weller, Old Fitzgerald, and Rebel Yell left from those days. Great bourbon was made at that distillery inc the famous Pappy Van Winkle.
The company historian walk by my desk with a very old bottle of bourbon that was part of the first batch made after prohibition. They were having a tasting with some media folks. Afterwards he stopped by my desk and without saying a word pour a snootfull in my coffee cup. It was a wonderful moment in my blessed life.
It was a sad day when that distillery was shut down.

Pretty good stuff? It's very good stuff! Like others said, it's a great value, and is one of my favorites.
WR is still a go-to pour. So many boutique brands now, but the Weller 12 year is a nice wheated sipping, and can be found without too much price gouging.

We enjoy bourbon every once in a while, but the wheated bourbons, other than Maker's, are hard to come by in our state run ABC store. (Also difficult to come by some of the lesser known, relatively lower priced but highly sought after offerings from the non-wheated side of the house.)
That said, we won't be running out anytime soon.

Wishing I had some WR in my Woodford Reserve glass, instead of this plebeian ET and Coke...

Good stuff but I admire them more for being the sponsor of the "Kentucky Derby". They put their money where their reputation is!

I really enjoy Woodford Reserve but my current favorite is Elijah Craig, 94 Proof.
I drink this “neat” and enjoy the “Kentucky Hug”.

We have a (1.75 liter) bottle of Elijah Craig "Small Batch" on hand as well. Lasts us a long time. (I consider that a good thing.)

Currently on my bourbon shelf I have Maker's Mark, Knob Creek, Larceny, and Woodford Reserve.
Have also enjoyed Elijah Craig small batch and Old Forester recently.

Great Bourbon! My dad got me started on Old Forester, but I like Woodford Reserve as well. Maker's Mark is not as sweet. GOOD bourbon is one you can drink without the aid of something else in the glass.
