You’re right, of course.
I lump it in with bourbon because to me, I quantify these things by the feedstock - ie, corn is bourbon, malted barley is whiskey, rye is rye, etc.
Woodford is a bourbon I rather like. It seems to be a quality product.
Sounds good to me, Pal.
I think the only way to settle all of this is at a dark-paneled bar with a couple of “comparison” rounds.
Are ya with me?
