Yes, minimum of four weeks but usually a little longer until it's good. Two weeks to ferment and a minimum of two weeks to bottle condition although most beers get better between about the two week and one month marks.

Guilty! I ordered a Woodford and Fresca today intending to drink the Fresca and pocket the bourbon, but the FA mixed them before handing it to me. This was in C+ where they don't normally do that.
