    When Templeton started back up, they implied that they were distilling their own in Templeton, IA. However, they were buying from MGP. That resulted in some negative publicity. They are now distilling some in their own facility. Templeton has released a bourbon recently, but I have not tried it.

    I really don't think Horse Soldier is done by Brainbrew, they did the Arby's Smoked Bourbon
    They do have a blending experience that you can try. In the end, if you create something that you like, you can have your own personal custom blend bottled on the spot. If you come down this way, you should try it, it is pretty interesting and educational.

    Hey guys. I’m very new to this. I had Woodford Reserve 90.4 proof last night and it was very alcohol/fume forward to me. I’ve had Benchmark 8 and Larceny that didn’t seem like this. Would it be because the bottle was brand new or does that make a difference?

    • @jakobtrest5513
      @jakobtrest5513 6 місяців тому +5

      Most likely - if you're drinking neat, let it it and rest 10-15 minutes before sipping and sniffing.
      I think the neck pour is a thing, so once you get WR to the shoulder or below it will open up nicely and not be as putrid to your nose going forward

    • @sagmeister2234
      @sagmeister2234 6 місяців тому +2

      For regular Woodford, yes, this can be typical. For a step up, try the Woodford Double Oaked. More flavorful and doesn't have the alcohol forwardness of the regular offering. At least for me.

      I'm also pretty new. The previous comments are spot on. I recently started letting my neat pours open up for 10+ minutes in the glass. That ethenol nose burn really dissapates and lets the bouquet shine through. I like regular Woodford, but that Double Oaked Woodford is one of the few bottles I will have backups for so far. Everyone loves it.

    Bought a Horse Soldier for the cause (veteran owned) and my wife thought the bottle would look good on the shelf. Will never purchase another. Really weak sauce with no redeeming bourbon flavors. They claim multiple accolades and awards at the spirit competitions in San Fran. Taste to me like the smell in Gran's old storage building.
