    Basil Hayden
    George ****el
    Maker's
    Knob Creek

    Currently working on a Knob Creek I got for my birthday.

    Also, scotch rocks are a neat bourbon drinker's best friend.

    And now I'm thirsty.

    George Dlckel isn't bourbon. It's Tennessee Whiskey

    My bad, but it's an awesome addition to the whiskey family.

    Everyday drinking it would be Evan Williams (great low price for a decent bourbon when mixed). For straight bourbon on the rocks it would be Woodford Reserve or Knob Creek.

    Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve. As it is impossible to come across however, it is not often indulged in. As a go to however I like Blanton's and Maker's Mark equally, though for different reasons.

    I know it's not bourbon, but if you haven't tried it, Death's Door White Whiskey is utterly fantastic.

    Woodford Reserve
    Four Roses isn't bad

    Pappy Van Winkle is great but good luck getting your hands on that. I've never owned a bottle but got the chance to sample it before.

    Pappy Van Winkle, if you can find it

    Otherwise:
    Evan Williams Single Barrel
    Buffalo Trace
    Bulleit
    Maker's Mark

    Favorite for mixing: Old Forrester, Evan Williams

    Favorite at ~$25/ bottle: Buffalo Trace, Makers Mark

    Favorite at ~$35-40/bottle: Woodford Reserve, Makers 46

    Favorite at ~$45-50/bottle: Bulleit, Angel's Envy

    --

    I was on a ten year quest to find the perfect bourbon that doesn't burn going down. That odyssey has now ended with my recent discovery of Angel's Envy.

    After finding and now trying this magic elixir, I found myself quite surprised to agree with Frank Bruni of the New York Times who opined: “[after drinking Angel's Envy] I missed the rough edges of other bourbons and the way they can burn slightly in the back of the throat. When I drink bourbon, I like the sense that I’m playing with fire.” I now completely agree, and this has changed how I look at bourbon.

    I'm still desperate to try Pappy van Winkle. It is a one-year waiting list in my state, and I've now just been told that they've done away with the list. Alas, my quest for the perfect corn juice continues.

    For regular drinking Knob Creek. I had Pappy Van Winkle once, generously given to me by someone...fantastic stuff, but hard to find and outside my budget.

    This, for mixing Old Forrester is good for the money. Plenty of rumors out there that Woodford is being cut with it to keep up with demand.

    Woodford Reserve

    I spent a lot of time with Woodford Reserve last night. Some might even say too much time.

    For me:

    Garrison Brothers*
    Knob Creek
    Buffalo Trace

    Always looking for suggestions for new favorites though. Please spare me the scotches and Canadian whiskys of the world.



    *yes, I know GB is from Texas and real bourbon ONLY comes from Kentucky, blah blah blah. I like it.

    Never heard of GB.
    Not a fan of either Knob Creek or Buffalo Trace though.

    However, I have some ideas for you.

    - George ****el Single Barrel. That's a sweet cheap bourbon.
    - Noah's Mill, delicious with a little bit of warmth.
    - Black Maple Hill, my absolutely favorite bourbon
    - Blanton's is a good standard
    - George T Stagg - good but bitey. Has a nice lingering finish and a lot of depth within some caramel
    - Willet aged bourbons are good, not the standard, but the aged.

    This upsets me so much that we're getting crazy gouged here where I live. Makers 46 is $60 -$65 and Makers Mark is $36-$45 depending on where you shop. Grrrrrrr.
