>I've been wanting to try Woodford Reserve.
It's most definitely a meme, given that it's made by Brown-Forman, which ensures you'll find it everywhere and in any size bottle you want (they even have the tiny kid size 50 mL bottles for it). Also, it's the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby and it's made in one of the three Kentucky Distilleries that are National Historic Landmarks (the other two make Maker's Mark and Buffalo Trace).

Tastewise, it's alright...like a more elaborate version of Maker's Mark. Lot's of in-your-face flavors + not heavy on spice. Also, if you try it after it's in the freezer, the finish is very strong on vanilla, almost like you just had a spoonful of sugar cookie dough. I probably wouldn't buy it again, though, just because of the $33 price tag. There are so many other acceptable bourbons out there (some better even) that are cheaper.

Woodford Reserve was recommended in a different recent thread, so thanks to whichever anon posted it.
