OneCubeOnly Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 They better be careful...they have the words "Wood" and "Reserve" in their name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 You joke (because you care), but that may be very good advice. Barton can point to B-F's failure to challenge this product, which has been on the market for X years, as proof that B-F has not defended the Woodford Reserve trademark as against products using both "wood" and "reserve" in their name. That would, of course, prompt B-F to so act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyc Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I don't get it. Wood has a lot to do with everyone's bourbon, I don't see how they can trademark that any more than you could, "corn", "rye" "sunshine" "air" "water" . It will be interesting to see this play out. <font color="red"> Good God Give Jeff Porcaro Some </font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbonmed Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Good point One Cube. Even more ridiculous, the 'Wood' part of Woodford Reserve has nothing to do with wood -- it's simply a reference to Woodford County, KY (just like Jefferson's Reserve is named for Jefferson County). The back of the Barton bottle says Ridgewood is named after a still in Bardstown. I don't hear the Conecuh 'Ridge' folks complaining about Ridgewood. Anybody notice Conecuh has a rectangular label on the bottom? And it has a batch number, just like Woodford! The nerve! Wait...it says 'hand crafted', just like...
