Long have I been an advocate of Old Forester Birthday Bourbons. I have also long been a fan of Old Forester Signature bourbon. In the past, however, I have not been that much a fan of Woodford Reserve. Come I now to assert that my latest tasting of Woodford Reserve was the best I have ever sipped. Chris Morris makes a special kind of bourbon, unlike all others. It has a decided and delightful acrid tang (copper pot still used in some of the blended distillates?) that adds to the complexity of the bourbon and extends the finish in a way reminiscent (to me) of older bourbons.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Dylan Thomas
