Anyone raving about Woodford Reserve's limited editions lately? And by lately, I'll generously give you 5 years... ha this is a great statement... 7 hours ago, The Black Tot said: Nope. In fact, almost never. Now that Parker Beam has passed and Jim Rutledge is (we can only hope) planning his next move, I can't think of any other Master Distiller whose name on the tasting panel has reasonably assured a special whiskey. I'm optimistic about Elliot with the deliciousness of my Elliott's select and al young 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Tot Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Everyone says great things about Jimmy and Eddie. Great picking hosts by the sounds of things. I don't see their names on a lot of picks though, which is what we're discussing. I really liked Master's Keep 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as Jim used to approve all the barrels in the single barrel program, Eddie is approving the barrels that go into the their private barrel program. What they don't have is that signature annual release that their name is on and for which they are recognized for assuring the taste and profile of. It's one of my few criticisms of Turkey that their limited editions tend to be hit or miss because they have the whiskey to do something annually that people will look forward to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, the could bring back 101/12 once a year w/ a limited release and I’d be happy. Well, as long as I got a couple. Bonus points for a gold foil label.

Their flagship Old Forester brand has been turned into well liquor over the past few years too. Other distilleries don't have to cannibalize the flagship brand to release some limited stuff.

I've enjoyed all of the Woodford Double Double Oaked releases. While not a part of the distiller's series, I'd count it as a limited edition.
