1. Four Roses (if we're talking Single Barrel. If not, this is below Woodford.)
2. Maker's
3. Woodford
4. Buff Trace
5. Knob Creek
N/A: 1792 (haven't had it)


I think mine is essentially in order of sweetness/caramel to more oaky/earthy.

Knob Creek, Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, 1792, 4 Roses, then Makers. But really for me I enjoy all of them as everyday whiskys outside of 4 Roses (yellow cap) and Makers. Those two are typically my go-to with Coke.

4R (assuming single barrel, if small batch, drop to 2)
Trace
Woodford
Makers
Knob Creek

N/A 1792

Very little separation for me between the top three, all staples for me. Did not love the last bottle of Knob Creek I had.

Hard to compare fairly because 1792 and Buffalo Trace are very inexpensive.

1792 just above BT of those two.

Woodford at any price is at the bottom for me. Just has something that is off putting.

I’d put Knob Creek at the top.

Woodford
Buffalo

Don't really care about the rest.

Woodford double Oaked is my go to bourbon for the weekends. Buffalo Trace or Green Weller is my everyday drink.
