I voted for '02, which is my favorite, but you didn't allow for two 2003 expressions, spring and fall.

Not having had the 2005 yet, I'd rate them: 1) 2002; 2) Spring 2003; 3) Fall 2003; and 4) 2004.

That said, I got over my disappointment that the 2004 was so much younger than previous editions, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. That's a good thing, because it is the one most plentiful around here (though I have managed to find 4 of the 2002 since returning from the Festival yum.gif).

Generally speaking, if you enjoyed Woodford Reserve in its early days -- well, this is it. My theory is that Brown-Forman chanced that the pot-still distillate from Versailles would offset them diverting those 'honey barrels' in Louisville to OFBB. It may not have worked out well for the WR, but the Birthday Bourbon is very nice.
