Best bourbon?

I noticed there are threads for scotch and vodka so we need one for bourbon too.
What do you think is the best bourbon? I can't pick just one but I think that buffalo trace and Elijah Craig are both very good, especially at ~$30 for a fifth.

Picked up a bottle of Widow Jane which is finished with water from the Widow Jane limestone mine. Very smooth.

One other avenue that I have come to also appreciate is rye whiskey, and have enjoyed Materson's, Whistle Pig, Pendleton (great value), and Lock-Stock & Barrel 13 (best of the bunch but costly).

"best" is a heavily biased personal value judgement at best.

With a modification from "best" to "worthy" .... One more to pile onto this thread that has arguably run it's usefulness:

" Very Very Old Fitzgerald" 100 proof 12 year old
Bottled 1982

Still got a virgin bottle uncracked in it's " collector's item" box.
