trumpstylz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 What's your preference? I figure they're duking it out in the same price range so I might ask and see what people thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavius Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Knob Creek all the way. I'm just not a fan of WR at all and think it is way overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkater1 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 + 2 for Knob, never been a huge fan of WR.Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostBottle Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Add another for Knob Creek. Check out the single barrel reserve, it steps the quality up and is worth the extra $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.B. Babington Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I vote Woodford. Woodford is distinctive. Knob Creek is good but is like so many other products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosugoji64 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My preliminary vote is for KC. The last time I had WR I wasn't impressed, but that was a while ago. I'll have to give it another try. I've had KC recently and thought it was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eth3rStrik3r Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Just had a bit of both, and I would have to give the slight edge to KC, but WR is decent, but depending on the bottle can seem a bit overpriced. I've had bottles of WR that have blown me away, and others than were less than "meh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad_scientist Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I had a double of WR at the Orlando airport last month and found it waxy and thin. Also, it had a synthetic taste to it that I couldn't warm up to. As it sat in the glass it got quite a bit better, but I'm not going to buy it again.I like KC but probably won't be getting it anytime soon, either. Too easy to drink!

WhiskyToWhiskey Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I don't mind KC. Just had the single barrel 60% which is similar profile to reg KC just not cut as much. The only beam product i really enjoy is bookers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 There is such wisdom in BB's post.I'm not sure I would necessarily choose WF over KC if offered to me (probably a 50/50 choice), but I do know I would pick out the WF in a blind tasting. Because, as BB says, it is distinctive. That's why I love Woodford. There really is no other bourbon on the market like it. I think we sometimes get hung up on some sort of "quintessential" bourbon profile, and if something deviates from that, we tend to dismiss it. Woodford is different. That's why I think it's great. And, I hope they never change it.Great description here, I have to agree. I like WR quite a bit, it has this deep black licorice taste that I pick up on that I have never found in another bourbon, its really distinctive and unique. On the other hand KC is a good bourbon too, lots of caramel and a little bit of spice in it, however the KCSB is fantastic. I like to have them all in my rotation, but find myself going for the WR less than the others, just because it is more unique, I somewhat have to prepare myself for it, or be in the right mood, if that makes sense.

BluesDaddy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I like 'em both and have an open bottle of each in my bar. If I had to choose, I'd probably go with KC, but Woodford is awfully good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Blacksmith Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I go for the WR. Just because it's got that licorice taste to it, which I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLfarmboy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 KC all the way.......I'm honestly perplexed by the love for Woodford. I use to think it was mostly newbies who liked it, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I like them both, but I would probably take KC over WF more times than not. There are times, though, that WF just hits the spot perfectly. I'm never without either in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil T Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Taste is purely subjective. I love raw oysters, but most of my friends can't stand to look at them, let alone eat them. I really like WR, and always have a bottle on hand. I have not had the KCSB, sounds like I need to try one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I like them both, but I'd take WR over KC on most days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeltownbbq Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 KC because that's what I got for Christmas (I have raised my sons well)Don't spend my own money on either as I like other brands as well or better that cost less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Dog Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm often faced with this choice, but it's mostly in bad restaurants. I usually pass on both, and if there's no Turkey, I simply groan and order white label with 1 ice cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
