I noticed Woodford Reserve was advertising during the the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness.

I like a snort of Bourbon or Sour Mash from time to time.
Canadian or blended Whiskey is not to my liking. ps

Don't know what you sampled, but whiskey is like many other things. It's an acquired taste usually, and like wine there's a technique involved to really enjoy it. I don't care for blended or fad whiskey's (kind of the fortified wines of bourbon) at all, and stick pretty much to single barrel bourbon aged 10 years or more. Pay more for it, but it's worth it. You might try some Blanton's - one of my favorites. https://www.blantonsbourbon.com/

I lately have come to prefer Bulleit Bourbon and their Rye is also very smooth.

This. Bulleit is an old bourbon, been around a long time, recently become popular again, along with Sazarac Rye. Both good ones, Jack Daniels used to be my favorite, not so much anymore.
Don't drink whiskey to get drunk, hangovers aren't fun. Good whiskey is for sippin'.

I tried hard when I was younger to get used to whiskey and scotch. Never could do it, the stuff really tastes bad to me. Ditto dry wines, may as well drink a glass of vinegar. Luckily not all is lost I do like a hearty glass of ale. Preferably an amber ale like Alaskan Amber.
OK, I guess I will have to do a little more research. I know really nothing about whiskies. I can talk with some knowledge about wines, gins, some sherries, a few liquors, beer (also not a big consumer) etc. I couldn't tell you what makes a whisky/bourbon/scotch/rye, etc. I suppose what I have tried seemed too smokey to me. I know they char the barrels, but it seems that is what I taste. It seems to overpower everything else to me. Yum, burned oak. Well I am open minded enough to experiment some more.
At my age I'm not even tempted to develop a taste for any of it.

I tried Bulleit Bourbon a few years ago and really like it. I'm currently on my first bottle of their Rye, and I think I prefer it over their Bourbon!

Their rye is also a favorite of mine (and George Washington).
The distillery at Mt. Vernon started making it again a few years ago, if you are ever up that way. http://www.mountvernon.org/the-estate-gardens/distillery/distilled-spirits-at-mount-vernon/coach

$188 for a bottle of Mt Vernon rye is a little pricey for me.
