Best bourbon?

I was living in Lexington in the late 1980's. That was the first I drank bourbon and still do to this day. Bourbons came alive back then with great marketing and some excellent distillers. There are now a few NY bourbon makers and it just isn't the same. Kentucky Bourbon is from the air, water and oak of the place....same as French or Italian wine.

To have the label Bourbon must be made in the United States and produced from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn aged in new, charred oak barrels, with no more than 80% alcohol by volume.
Corn gives Bourbon a sweet flavor.

Bulliet Bourbon,  Four Roses  are some of my favorites

Right brubin and aged for no less than 2 years
