Today I’m diving into another side-by-side bourbon showdown: Woodford Reserve vs Bulleit bourbon. This one is particularly fun because it pits one of my favourite bourbons against one of John’s go-to bottles. Both are well-known Kentucky bourbons, easy to find, and have loyal followings for very different reasons.
