Peated is not my favorite style but I do recommend a few brands that I thought were pretty decent.

Ok, I need some guidance. Which Woodford and which 4 Roses? I picked up the Woodford Distiller's Select Bourbon on the left.

The Distiller's Select is tad smoky, but not bad. It's about the upper limit of my tolerance for smoke, if that helps with my previous request for recommendations.

I honestly can't do the smokey alcohol any further. It was OK years ago but my palate has definitely changed. Glad you lived it OK.

It's very light on the smoke. Not blatant at all. I like it.

I looked but came up empty. My superstore (Binnie's) usually has a great selection of high end stuff, and they had Buffalo Trace, but no Single Oak. So I picked up these instead.
