[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 190391, member: 2217"] I was a scotch drinker for years and still enjoy scotch but I was spoiled by a friend who introduced me to $300.00 a bottle scotch. As I couldn't justify spending that on a disposable item like alcohol, I drank the store shelf standbys of Chivas, Glenfiddich, etc. Many years ago my wife was heading to a Planning and Development conference in Kentucky so I went as well and bummed around the smoky mountains with a couple buddies. We drank their bourbon and although regular JB and JD is alright in a pinch,they are not my fav. When I got home and Brenda flew back a few days later, she had gone on a tour of a distillery in Versailles KY and brought me back a bottle of[B] Woodford Reserve bourbon[/B]. I was hooked... It reminded me of expensive scotch.... but a bit cleaner taste and not overly smoky.... Now I had to find it here. It's relatively commonplace now but 20 years ago I searched every liquor store in Red Deer and got a dumb look in all except one. The owner said no, he'd never heard of it. As I turned to leave, he said wait and he would look to see if he could get it... Came back from the computer and said he could. I was ecstatic and said whatever amount he had to order, whether a case or whatever, I would give him a deposit for. He said no problem, he would stock it on the shelf for me. He earned a loyal customer that day. It's not cheap bourbon comparatively. A 750 of Woodford Reserve will run from about $44 to $52, but to me it's a great value and a great bourbon. I have also drank $200.00 bourbon but again, didn't knock my socks off and won't pay that for anything except a very special occasion. Give Woodford a try. I think you might like it, being an occasional scotch drinker. If by chance you need to mix your drinks with coke or something, you may not appreciate bourbon any more than any other of the less expensive whiskies, but if you're a neat, rocks or even a splash of water guy you may just fall in love like I did.
