Woodford Reserve Four Grain

[TNbourbon]

... How could they be sooo different?

Because, as Dave points out, they ARE different! The original Woodford Reserve was only AGED in Woodford County; it was distilled elsewhere as something else, and hand-selected to become WR. Today's is DISTILLED in Woodford County, and is WR from the get-go.

The get-and-move was much better than the get-go.

I suspect if they had introduced the brand with today's whiskey... -- well, they wouldn't have.

Maybe I didn't make it clear, I bought a bottle one month ago and its great, and the bottle of WR in the bar was also new, but tasted completely different...I'm sure I'm not drinking the older version of WR at home! I could not believe how different two new bottles could taste so different!

Air may be your answer.

What else did you consume that evening?

If two different bourbon bottlings tasted "awful" perhaps it was just a bad palate night. Most members here will admit to having them periodically.
