Well, at the Whisky Exchange JD is about 23 pounds, so Woodford definitely isn't double the price (at least at the Whisky Exchange; maybe the situation is different where you shop), but yeah, it is obviously more money and you like it less than JD, so fair enough. Knob Creek Bourbon is about 40 pounds, so close enough. I have had all three, and I rank them Woodford, Knob Creek Bourbon, and then JD. JD is sweeter than the other two, for sure. (Where the regular JD falls down for me is in its "thinness" on the palate, something that I believe to be the result of how mass-produced it is.) Some lovers of scotch who disparage bourbon say they don't like how sweet bourbon is, but not all bourbons are sweet. Woodford and Knob Creek bourbon are on the dry side. If the sweetness is something that appeals to you in JD, I can recommend Maker's Mark, which I like better than either Woodford or Knob Creek Bourbon (Knob Creek's rye is so much better than their bourbon, to my taste at least).
Last time I bought JD it was £20 for a litre so yes it is virtually half price. |

One litre of JD is nearly 34 pounds at Whisky Exchange, so you either bought your bottle a long time ago or you made the purchase at a place with much cheaper prices.

£20 a couple of weeks ago in Sainsburys. I wouldn't dream of buying JD online when it's so much cheaper in supermarkets.

Jim Beam White is foul tasteless piss. 12 quid is 11.99p too much.

ASDA were selling Red Stag for £13 at the weekend. That's cheaper than the supermarket own brands.
