Woodford Reserve Bourbon
On this episode we talked Woodford Reserve Bourbon! Drop a little history, sample and provide tasting notes. There is a learning curve for me with respect to bourbon, but with Dan Brown (a team member at Manistee Beverage) leading the way with this episode I realize I still have much to learn. Dan's knowledge of bourbon shows through in this first of what will sure to me many more episodes about whiskey. Enjoy. Cheers! J. B.
