It's not about the whiskey, it's the people you share it with!

Cheers! Great review, I couldn’t agree more. I’m not a big Woodford guy but this dram is amazing. I was shocked at how great this is.
So tasty! Like drinking cherry juice! I was really anti wheat for a while, but Maker's Cask strength and this have turned me back around!
Finally found some here in San Diego, spot on review, unlike other reviews yours hits the mark, well worth the purchase.
Thanks so much!
This dram sounds perfect for the upcoming fall season. Great review as always buddy!! Cheers
Interesting that an offering in the Distiller's series is being offered at that price. It was clearly well thought out and highly regarded as a concept and an experiment. Yet the $35 price probably reflects their sales projection that a wheat whiskey may not sell that well. So it is essentially an introductory offering to tantalize and attract sales. If successful look forward to increased prices. Meantime, you've convinced me. Gonna try it.
Snagged two bottles today, this stuff is really good...your review is spot on!!!
Thanks! I love this whiskey
So, in other words, it’s a great 4 grain wheat whiskey! I think Bernheim is about the same wheat content, but more corn and no rye. I picked up a bottle of this a few days ago, and now your review has me anxious to open it up and give it a try sooner than later. Cheers!
It's definitely different than the bernheim. Alot more fruit forward. Cheers.
Having gone through 3/4 of a bottle, I just poured some to follow along with you. I liked it before, now I like it more.
I had just bought this bottle based on your recommendation. I has a pinky taste of it and it's awesome and I can't wait to have an ounce of it later on today.
Just opened the bottle yesterday. I'm enjoying this whiskey
I'm tasting them side by side now - had a mini of regular WR bourbon and a bottle of "straight wheat" and "straight malt". I'm learning several things :) 1. WR is not my whiskey, even though the geek in me wanted to try these, I won't be buying any more (including the rye). Maybe their proof is wrong for the profile, I find the strength lacking while the wood notes are astringent and sharp, as if the barrels imparted their tannins without flavor 2. mash bills are not a "recipe" and they don't matter as much as sometimes thought. All three of these would come across as "bourbon" in a blind tasting. If anything, the "wheat" and the "malt" make for a slightly better tasting "bourbon" than the bourbon proper. 3. These don't take water well at all. No regrets, I'm glad I tried them. 4. Finally I mixed all three of them in one glass and the new "blend" was maybe just slightly juicier but still woodfordy and tannic. All lessons are valuable lessons if they're meaningful :)
Jason C and the Bourbon Junkies (in that order) are this newbie's go-to for bourbon and, in this case, wheat whiskey reviews and suggestions. Thanks Mash and Drum. New sub here.
Welcome in T.A.! Appreciate it!
As usual, a great review, Jason. I love your reviews. While my nose isn't anywhere as good as yours, our palates are very similar. I will definitely search out this one.
So I went back and tried my bottle again..its been opening up for a few weeks and has improved slightly..better integration..think it would be really great with a little more age on it..that light oak note is welcomed here but I may try dropping in a spiral to pronounce it :)
Awesome! Just bought one last week! Your review is spot on. This is a good one!
Thanks man. I really love this one too.
Just bought a bottle can’t wait to try it
Okay, I’m nearly two years late to this party, but I’ve been debating if I should try the Woodford Reserve Wheat Whiskey, and your review has convinced me to put it on the list. Thanks for posting it, and Cheers!
And how is it compared to the straight bourbon? Debating myself..
@@simba720 I haven’t had the Woodford Reserve bourbon. I’ve had the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, and VERY few bourbons are better than the WRDO.
@@IC86 im trying to get my hands on the double Oakes as well but hard to find here in hawaii...prost
Just got the bottle today to venture into some new whiskeys.
Another great review man. I am sold. Had wheated bourbons but I’ve never had a wheat whiskey. I’m in
You'll love it.
Sounds like a fall sipper. Great review, Jason! :-)
Great review as always Jason! I like how it's a four grain whiskey and will be picking one up sometime soon. Great nosing and tasting notes, looking forward to trying this. Cheers brother
Thanks Richie!
Just got my bottle and I loved it! Smooth and sweet!
It's definitely a great bottle for sure. For 35 bucks you can't go wrong.
I would get it now, because I don’t think it’s going to stay at 35.00!
@@PilotDiggerdavid I think your safe with woodford stuff. There prices stay pretty consistent.
Hey Buddy, great review as always, man this sounds like a really nice sipping Whiskey, one that may not blow your socks off but on those days/nights you want that, this may just be the one. I'll have to look for this and give it a shot at that price. Cheers Maverick!
It's great for 35 bucks man. Soooo freaking good
Jason, sounds very nice. Will need to finish my Bernheim and move on to this one. Cheers!
Yeah more balanced and fruit forward than bernheim in my opinion but a great value as well.
Was wondering when they were finally going to do a Wheater. Interesting that they included rye in the mash bill too. Cheers
Yeah it's a very well balanced whiskey. Something for everyone I think. And a bargain.
Good review! Will give it a try🥃
well done Jason!
*Skol Vikings!*
Minnesota Vikings fan?
Great price. Will definitely be looking out for it. Cheers man.
Well worth it buddy.
Great review Jason. Cheers!!!
Thanks Brian!
Why was Weller, Larceny or Old Fitz not mentioned as a wheat bourbon? How do they stack up?
This isn't a wheated bourbon like Weller, Larceny or Old Fitz. Those bottles still have at least 51% Corn to be called a bourbon. The Woodford Reserve is 52% Wheat and only 20% corn so you can't call it bourbon therefore it's a Wheat Whiskey like Bernheim. Its way more fruity than a typical wheated bourbon but does have some characteristics of woodford reserve bourbon in the finish. Weller, Larceny and Old fitz are classic wheated bourbon flavors with oak, corn, caramel and vanillas which is a diffent flavor profile than the wheated whiskey.
I know it’s whiskey:bourbon ,but with similar price points, this or Maker’s 46?
Hmmm. It really depends what you like. They are both really different. If you like really fruity bourbons then the Woodford. If you like a bit darker, spicier, more oak then definitely the 46. Right now I would lean towards the 46 because it's getting colder out. The Woodford to me is kind of a summer whiskey being so fruity.
I am usually right in line with you but wasn’t a fan of this one. I actually gave it to someone that I knew would enjoy it more.
Really. To fruity?? I like when people don't agree. Like to know what they tasted. Lol
Maybe it’s because it’s too fruit forward. I have all kinds of Wheaters from Weller to Redemption to Rebel Yell 10 yr. This was my least favorite. I am sure you can agree when you have 50 plus in your collection you don’t need one taking up room. I am sure that Basil Hayden pancake syrup rum crap might be in your basement closet?
@@jasonw429 well remember. This is not a wheated bourbon...this is a wheated Whiskey. There's way more wheat than corn so it's different. Way more fruit forward
@@jasonw429 I gave away the basil Hayden. Lol
이거 맛있는데 😀
