Woodford Reserve Candy Cane

The holidays are upon us! If you are like me, then you are stressing over the last minute needs, and discovering that ONE PERSON you forgot to buy anything for! Whoops! It is going to be a long weekend of holiday parties, wrapping presents, ensuring that everything arrived at their intended destinations, and of course – finding that you time. Finding a quiet time in the midst of the last few days before a major holiday can be interesting. But, with the help of Woodford Reserve, you can kick your feet back and enjoy a festive drink at the same time!

We all have candy canes hanging from the tree. Usually, they hit the garbage can after the holidays are over, at least the ones that have not been eaten by kids and pets alike. But now you can put those candy canes to good use! Head over to your Class Six and stock up on some holiday cheer today!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
