The winner: Four Roses Small Batch
Four Roses Small Batch wins: it outscores Woodford on the one critic source both share (Breaking Bourbon) and lands a solid crowd score on Whiskybase, all for less money per 750ml. Woodford's 1.75L jugs can be a decent per-ounce deal if you're stocking a bar, but for quality per dollar in a standard bottle, Four Roses is the smarter buy.
