If you have followed me for a while, you probably know that I am a scotch drinker. But today, celebrating the American Thanksgiving, I am drinking the quintessential American drink - bourbon. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Cheers!

I hope your Saturday has been good and I hope your Saturday night is even better!

I have been called a cheapskate plenty of times, deservedly so. But when it comes to liquor I will buy the good stuff. This Woodford Reserve bourbon is the good stuff.

Life is short, enjoy good whiskey!

Watching a farm in KY and mixing up some relaxing evening cocktails. I made a truly fantastic Boulevardier using Lillet Rouge and Woodford Reserve Wheat Whiskey. I would have used a bourbon cherry but we finished the jar in the first four days so this version is sans stone fruit. I'm calling it a Boulevardniegh

1 part (1 oz) Campari

1 part (1 oz) Lillet Rouge

2 part (2 oz) Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey

3 dash Woodford Reserve Orange Bitters

Some barrels at Woodford Reserve Distillery, Versailles KY

On the nose: herbal, a little menthol, grain shininess, a little bit of caramel and some barrel bitter too.

Palate: more herbaceousness, less mintiness than I expected, it is tempered by some wood sugars and char. It doesn't have that bite of spice that I like in my ryes.

Finish: not too long, herbal and surprisingly sweet, turning to caramel and roasted sugar notes.

Thoughts:

Do I like it? Well enough, it's not a particularly bold rye. While it presents lots of grain character and the rye leads the way I could almost mistake it for a high rye bourbon.

Do I think it's a good value? For $46 before tax it's hard to go wrong, but you might be better served by buying a craft rye.

Do I recommend it? Sure, I guess. It's pretty good but uninspiring.
