Anyone try Boodles Mulberry Gin? My wife loves Gin and Tonic so I'm curious how it tastes

Is this real life??

A couple of years ago I toured the Old Pogue Distillery in Maysville, KY. I went to their website and read a review of one of their rye whiskies:

A review of Limestone Landing conducted by the Beverage Tasting Institute: Clear. Aromas and flavors of creamy pistachio nougat, raisin scone, and grain husk with a round, penetrating dryish medium-to-full body a warming, white pepper, fig rye toast, chalk dust, and pear eau-de-vie-like finish. Interesting flavor and dimension; opens nicely with water, and a creative cocktail choice. Rating: 89 Points - Silver Meda - January 24, 2013.

CHALK DUST!!!? Is there anyone here who happens to like chalk dust?

I'm guessing that's the limestone?

One of my favorite bourbons. Have become a bigger scotch fan over the years.

Nope. Just fantasy.

I'm not meaning to bash anyone's taste in bourbon, BUT..... I picked up a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch this weekend just to try something different. It's good, but IMO it isn't anywhere near Woodford good. The Four Roses has a sweet and spicy flavor that lacks real depth. It's smooth, and has a pleasant heat to it, but that's about as much as can be said about it. It makes a good bourbon and Coke.

Woodford Reserve is the nectar of the Gods. [emoji106]
Last cruise we went on, the premium drink package offered Woodford as part of the package.
I put a hurtin' on it.

I tried the Four Roses Small Batch and thought it was pretty good - for bourbon. Guess I'll have to try the Woodford Reserve...

It's a dang good bourbon for the money ($35 ish for a 750ml). About the only thing I've found that rivals it in its price point is Eagle Rare.

Myself I like smooth, sweet with a little spice. My wife buys her father the Woodford, that's his fave. I'm gonna sneak into it Easter Sunday and try it. Sounds good.

Woodford has a flavor profile that's mellow, but full. It's got the characteristic sweetness of a bourbon with a smooth, buttery (almost toffee or caramel like) flavor before the oh so pleasant heat washes over you. It's just a little "meatier" than the 4 roses if that makes any sense.
