lol. Thanks.. but yeah, that's the name.

Mississippi Grind!!

[@TheLegitAlpha]

I’ve actually tried this recently. It evolves into vanilla notes, which I actually do like.

[@rbjfotos]

Love your in depth look into this boutbon. Great video again! You should add a few drops of water and swirl it around. The oils will rise to the top and the first sip will be a lot richer. Might help you find the notes you're missing. Thank you for another great video!

[@e240b2]

It’s not my favorite tasting but it brings me back to my ski trips Every drink I love the nostalgia it brings

[@BronzeBobcat]

I like Woodford Reserve a lot more than most bourbons.

[@marcuspowell2510]

A few year ago I stepped my game up from sipping Maker and Bulleit (I was whiskey dumb) to sipping Woodford. The price and taste fit my needs. I’m blessed to be able to afford a little more so I’m venturing out quite a bit. But if I’m out at bar or at a function Woodford is an easy go to.

[@Ghoul181]

I am on a similar journey to you, any recommendations besides wood ford that are a step up from bulleit?

[@marcuspowell2510]

@@Ghoul181 I’ve tried a bit more and can now recomend Russel’s Reserve single barrel and Widow Jane 10 yr($60 and $40 respectively where I live) and both have proven to be really nice. I’ve had EH Taylor quite a bit and though it’s good, I’d rather spend that $100 on Russel’s and Widow Jane (same same goes for Blanton’s).

Woodford is always on my self I truly enjoy it. Like wild Turkey and makers Elijah Craig just a very good affordable whiskey.

[@Beaudunk]

I really enjoy the way you present your videos, keep up the good work man.

[@easportssucks4347]

Can't believe how good this whiskey is. It tastes better than some stuff that costs twice as much 👍👍

[@akizenx]

Woodford Reserve is consistent in every batch, including the Double Oaked. I know, I sell Woodford. As far as flavor profile, I get toasted marshmallow, oak and vanilla / toffee / caramel tones. With rye spice on the backend. TJ - water it down to 60 proof to taste everything. Use spring water.

[@BigboiAjit]

Bro I think we might be related you look like me bud

[@lyodbraun]

Just how much water do you add ?

[@AJ-wo9bs]

Fun fact on chemistry vs. what we experience or at least think we do. The solution of water and ethanol has higher viscosity than either of them alone, and it is at its highest at ABV of 46%. Of course there are other compounds that might effect it slightly, but theoretically that should be around the "thickest" point. More ethanol than that, and it start getting thinner again.

[@douglascarver1371]

I think the whole using more available bourbons for the chart is great 👍 Picked me up a Elmer T Lee Finally for only $42

[@Brewzle]

That's a great deal! Yeah, we have a few slightly more limited reviews coming that are celebrity releases but just going with the popular stuff so there's a relatable reference against the rare bottles.

[@OldFashionedWays]

I do enjoy woodford reserve, I feel great for newbs. I also prefer double oaked like you. Think for price is a good bottle to have on the shelf. thanks for reviewing

[@ChipsA17]

Woodford was my very first whiskey. It was my go too for a while. I drink a lot of glenlevit now.

[@michaelsmith4039]

I discovered this whiskey about five months ago while looking for a bottle to take to friends while we were working on his race l car. I wanted to find something I've never had an stay away from the common one like Jim and jack. I enjoyed this. although it's 50.00 bucks in my town and 40.00 a town over. Luckily I'm a sipper when it comes to bourbon so a single bottle lasts me alone for months

[@spaghettiman4691]

Going from Wild Turkey 101 to Woodford Double Oak blew my mind. It definitely makes me want to try some of the other top shelf Bourbons out there.

[@raygalles2517]

WRDO is my favorite bourbon. Must get a bottle prior to sipping on my WR Master's Collection 2024 BP.

[@itisannona]

I think u reignited my whiskey hyperfixation! I do prefer scotch (my go to is a glenfiddich 15) but where I live in Canada alcohol is more regulated than cannabis and only sold at government stores, so you can't really find much outside of what the average person gets.

[@kiddchronic9014]

That's hella sad

[@itisannona]

@@kiddchronic9014 not rly alcohol is one of the most dangerous substances to do tbh.

Its the same in Ohio,USA, the state controls all hard liquor sales and you have to take whatever the state liquor store has on hand.

Agree!

[@ShanaynayGosby]

I still have no clue how or when i subscribed but i loving the videos the last like three days lmao

[@Glock2201]

I have trouble determining the both on the nose and with the flavor but I like toffee and chocolate so that might explain why I like this so much. It is the only bourbon that I always have one open and usually buy it a 1.75L and refill the smaller bottles to put on the shelf to drink. I think it is a really good bourbon and a great value. I think you scored it low but feel pretty good it was only a point off of Blanton's because I can always get WR but have yet to see Blanton's.

[@walkmanstudios9733]

6-7 years old and tastes super good I think woodford is a sleeper. Ppl turn their nose up at it but I have always really enjoyed woodford

[@davetbrunner]

I love it because I can grab a half pint of it for like $10, and go home feeling like money was well spent. For $30 ish for a 750, I might be grabbing something else though 😎 Old Forester 100 would be a great choice and it's easily $10 less in my market

[@Weeman80]

Just got the derby WR it’s my first WR and I like Evan Williams BnB better

[@patsandsoxs]

Just finished a bottle. Not bad but I’m not likely to run out and get another one. There are others I prefer that are around the same price.

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

Woodford Reserve is indeed a damned fine whiskey Their Double Oaked is an amazing Bourbon. If I could afford it, it would be my everyday pour but $50/bottle is a bit much for me

Howdy buddy! Thanks for the comprehensive and not boring review) I bought this just a couple of days ago and ain't uncorked it so far (plenty of uncorked bottles in the bar cabinet). But strange as it may seem my version is 0.7 cl and 43.4 ABV %. The bottle is the same. Could ya please tell my -are they all of different ABV%? Best regards from Moscow, Russia! Cheers!🤝

[@ryanperez5758]

For some reason I can’t pick up anything with this bourbon on the nose or the pallet is the double oaked better ?

[@tao265]

The bourbon that takes no risks - per their website. Easy drinker and a great starter but certainly a mid shelfer, at best.

[@distantgalaxymusic1447]

It’s not even better than Evan Williams 100. I was given a bottle as a gift. Worst bourbon I’ve ever tasted. I’ll make highly diluted hi-balls with it. Mid shelf is generous.

[@repsforjesus6720]

That's a great idea

[@larrywimpee609]

@@Brewzle If you had mirrors behind you the lighting would be affected . But if you did not film there I agree it would be AWESOME. I had them in my wet bar in my 20’s. Loved the look.

[@distantgalaxymusic1447]

It tastes like Aunt Jemima pancake syrup. I tried it neat, rocks and an old fashion. Not so good. It might be better if it was higher proof. It made an excellent hi-ball with ginger ale and a splash of San Pelagrino. Over all it’s cloyingly sweet and off putting. Even makes a rough, hard to drink bourbon and coke. It’s like taking a Coke and putting cheap pancake syrup in it. I never tried it before today and I’m disappointed with it. I’m gonna try it out with some ice and tonic water to see if it helps round out the flavor.

[@silentassassin1108]

I just got a bottle of this and it tastes the same as jack Daniel’s to me. The bitterness hides a lot of flavor, or all whiskey is like that because I don’t drink it very often.

You seem like you found some flavor in there. Hard to believe you couldn't pick up on 1% of the caramel, Carmel, carrmull, karmul, kahrmuhl notes that Woodford advertises.

[@Brewzle]

lol

[@oler777]

“You got deep into that bottle“ how what did you have one old fashion and have another person come over and go I need one of those so you made two? If I am deep in to the bottom has been smashed against the wall

[@Brewzle]

Lol, fair point. I was just pre-empting the haters that are like "you've drank half the bottle already and are now doing the review". We made at least a few old fashions with it. We usually spread out the pours across multiple bottles, so we don't go too hard into one bottle in one sitting.

[@MR-dz8ex]

$30 for that is not bad it's $40 where I live

[@protoman2260]

It’s around $30 where im at but I usually end up getting Makers for $20. What would you consider the better deal? I like both but the cheapskate in me usually wins out

[@Vortex1988]

I think you're being too kind to Woodford here. I'm not even a Blanton's fan boy, and I will admit that Blanton's has way more flavor and complexity than the base Woodford. Woodford Reserve is basically just water and black pepper. There's absolutely nothing to write home about it. Woodford Double Oaked is great, but I'd rather drink almost anything but the base level Woodford Reserve.
