Hey everyone. I'm new here. I've been really into wine for a couple of years now. However, something about bourbon's been tugging at me everytime I've heard it mentioned; I think it must lay in the fact that this is a drink I've heard people really can appreciate on a bunch of different levels- and I think that's what I really like about wine.
So I was at the BX for my reserve weekend and saw a 1L bottle of Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select. Got it for 26 bucks (no tax :grin: ) and thought that was not a bad deal. I visited this site and was trying to figure out how to serve it. Ends up, I tried it in it's most simple form "neat" (I wanted a true understanding of what it was this liquid was!). I couldn't get over how sweet it smelled- beautiful. Very woodsy. Taste wise, obviously, it was quite the suprise to my mouth- which I expected. I've never been a big drinker anyways. In all, I found it really interesting, and would love to keep learning about the different makers out there, comparing and contrasting. Thought I'd share this with you all, and maybe rekindle those memories of your first days with..... bourbon! Cheers!
